Powerhouse teams pick strategies that allow them to not have to rely on their alliance partners because Quals can be a total crap shoot of who you get teamed up with. Being able to play the game by yourself is key to seeding high and then being able to pick other teams that play the game the way you want to play it.

1114 can and will play with other teams when necessary. It just wasn't (and might not be until Champs) at GTCR last weekend.

As someone said earlier if you need to justify your teams decision to build a robot that requires team work to perform by arguing against those who don't more power too you. Your challenge ins't 1114 its the scheduling deity to give you a qual schedule that pairs you with teams that compliment you so you can hope to score more than 140 points a match, to seed higher than the 1114's and hope they want you to pick them.
I meant win championships.
