Re: DISC diplomacy

Usually a setup like that is a rarity outside of traditional regional eliminations or post-district tournaments. If you actually have those 3 kinds of robots allied in a random match against 3 other randomly selected robots, well, I feel sorry for the other alliance because there's a high probability they got a rare draw anyway.

If these three robots are in a situation like this, they are either getting what will likely be an easy win, or the QP bounty for a win at all costs is more important anyway. Most times in qualifiers an alliance like this will have an easy time getting the win anyway so "spreading the wealth" shouldn't be an issue at all.

Championship qualifications is an entire other animal where Bot 3 should have refined the shooter to work right now, and if not, that's tough cookies because you won't even compete with/against over a third of the teams in your own field and your shot % and average points scored/match better be a head-turner for scouts if your QP score, team number or bot design aren't.
