Re: Coopertition issues

The thing about coop this year that is different from 2012 is that it is possible to outscore coop points with a good enough robot. Lets say you expect coop from about half your matches. Thats an average of 20 points per match, assuming 12 matches. Its not that difficult for a good robot to put up more then 20 points per match, in the time they would be taking to do coop anyway. Since it was basically a win in 2012, only counted for 50% of your ranking. This year its probably similar for most teams, but it you can outscore it your time is better spent just making your own stacks.
