The thread can end here.
This is why Aerial Assist is a terrible game for rookies/less experienced teams.
Teams at the top of their game often need to convince detrimental alliance partners to not use a majority of the features (pick up/catapult/auto mode/etc) they've spent 2 months pouring their heart and soul into because they are inconsistent and/or slow down the cycle. Occasionally, coaches get creative and re-purpose a design to provide the needed assists. Often though, this is not possible. This is heartbreaking, but FIRST has put top teams in this spot.
Please don't do this again FIRST.
