Then the question is, how are you going to get the 3rd bot to accomplish your ALLIANCE strategy. Are you going to gift them a complete mechanism which completes the task, or are you going to work with them to create a new mechanism which completes the task?
In my opinion, the former violates the spirit of the competition (you are only allowed to field one robot). The latter is to be encouraged.
