The incentive is if one team is already on the coop bridge and they see the other alliance's robot coming to the coop bridge, they will get one more qualifying point if they would lower it themselves and "invite" the other robot to come up to the coop bridge. If they want to be selfish and take the one point and deny the other alliance any points, the other alliance can force the bridge down and go up. I don't think this will happen in Michigan and because the incentive is big enough.
