The first order sort for ranking is Qualification points. Whatever can earn you more of them is always better. If you would get 2 Qualification points all regional long from winning and skipping to coop you will be in first seed... just below all others that received 4 from winning and cooperating all regional long.

Plus what is the point in not cooperating with Powerhouse teams? Are you really going to risk getting 0 points for getting 2 points and a slight legup against that Powerhouse team in seeding? No! You'll want to get that 2 qualifying points so you don't fall behind.

Here is the real question: When will the two cooperating robots get on the bridge to ensure they get those points? 10 seconds left? 30 seconds left? With some, maybe with a whole minute left?
