From a pure game theory perspective, gaining two qualification points via coopertition is less desirable than gaining two qualification points via winning a match. Winning a match provides two qualificaiton points to your team, and four QPs to other teams (two for each of your alliance partners). Balancing two robots grants your team two QPs, and ten to other teams (two partners and three opponents). Winning a match provides a better chance at seeding high than the coopertition ramp.
Obviously they are not mutually exclusive outcomes.
