Re: The Noodle Agreement

As being on drive team last year I found it extremely difficult to get some of the teams including human players to stick to a plan that we had executed and decided on before our match, let alone two alliances on a very impactful agreement that you won't have time to discuss with the other side while the match is in play.
It's also a matter of full trust in both alliances to follow through with your decision made, let alone the possibility of it working out correctly. If anyone breaks that agreement then it will make you or your alliance members look untrustworthy and risk losing that possible consideration for alliance selections. Once those noodles are ran over or torn up after a few matches it may not make it so easy to fly it, like we discovered at a team meeting tonight. I know last year there were a few human players at my home regional who claimed they were great at throwing in the ball without fouling, yet almost cost us the matches due to fouls from the human player. That could make it a risk at least with some teams and competitions that those who may need to throw in the noodles aren't good at it.
