Coopertition...Is it worth it this year?

At first, it seemed to me that the coopertition points were not worth pursuing, due to the fact that they are a tiebreaker, when the primary method of ranking is not nearly as likely to produce ties as it was in the past, and that it only matters for qualification matches, not playoffs.

However, there is a decently sized points reward for a stack (40 teleop points, 20 points for a set). So I wonder, is it worth the effort to stack for co-op points, or is it better strategically to build stacks of grey totes and containers on your own alliance's side? Keep in mind that the action of stacking on the step is different from stacking on the scoring zones, and may require different mechanisms.

So, what do you think?
