I agree completely. In many of the matches I watched where no coop points were scored it was because the teams tried and failed. A huge part of the issue is that not all teams can deal with game pieces being in their way when they are already in possession of the yellow totes. Let that be a warning to all human players, please don't clog up the area by the step with noodles before the coop points are scored. It is not worth losing 40 points.

While I do not like the idea of relying on the other alliance for such a large amount of points, I like this years version of coopertition far better than 2012. This year you can do you part of coop and be done with it. In 2012 there were many matches where we would waste the last 30 seconds of the match setting up of the bridge to allow for the other alliance to join us and they would not follow up on their agreement.
