The problem, in my opinion, with last year was if you shared a minibot with another team who was not on your alliance you risk eventually loosing to them (if you did not take the minibot away from them when you played against them).

This years Coopertition eliminates that problem by making it relatively useless in the finals (unless you are trying to win the award), and only beneficial in the quals.

I see what you did there GDC...
To me that was the beauty of last years coopertition that if your playing in the true spirit of it you may come up against your own machine. If we had advanced past the quarter finals last year in Seattle we would have went up against our own minibot. I would have loved to see our minibot go up against our minibot in the semis or finals.

Like last year, coopertition points are only awarded in quals. But you are right there is no risk involved as there was last year.
