That is the reason lots of teams struggled at regionals, they didn't know how to coopertate.
254 could do it quite well, and realized the value of co-oping early on. However, as Cory is spotlighted as saying, "it sucked because you not only had to depend on your partners being good, but your opponents too."

Your opponents not only had to have a working drivetrain, but a coach that recognized when it was time to balance, decently competent drivers, the foresight to coordinate with the opposing alliance, and the maturity to not decide to botch a balance in order to tank a teams rankings.
