On the cooportition bridge, it doesn't appear that there is any logical plan for approaching it. Are alliances discussing it pre-match? It would seem as if some sort of pre-planned process would help balance (as you said, two robots trying to adjust for each other just makes it wobble back and forth)

Definitely discuss pre-match. I usually go out and find our alliance members 3 matches in advance to discuss these things.

If we get on the bridge with 30 seconds, or even a whole minute left on the clock, as long as it will end up with +10, +20 or +40 to our score (or +2 qualifying points) it will be worth it.

My thoughts exactly. Our team was struggling but once I realized this, it was a good thing.
