Obviously the alliance should've made the decision not to balance instead of one member taking it upon themselves to make the balance points void after the decision had already been made.
I saw the same thing and couldn't believe it.

If a team on your alliance has chosen to work with a team on the opposing alliance and go for the co-op balance, it is ridiculous to try and intentionally try and de-balance that bridge.

You have the right to say no and not participate, I don't believe you have the right to try and knock robots off the co-op bridge once they have balanced successfully.

If this continues at other events with other top ranked teams, it should be an interesting season.
