Re: what to do if the other alliance reneges on coop

There's not much you can do. We had co-op planned for just about all of our matches at Reading but it was only completed maybe half the time for various reasons. Sometimes our alliance failed to deliver the first set of totes and sometimes it was the other for varying reasons.

Robots break, litter gets in the way, bins move into orientations they can't get to or prevent them from getting there, they might be waiting for you to place yours if there was a communication breakdown, etc.

The best thing you can do is talk to them to find out if something went wrong or to apologize if you were the link in the chain that broke and move along. Try not to assume the worst of your partners or opponents and if you do truly feel they stood you up don't stress over it and hold a grudge. There's not much you can do after the fact and by the time alliance selections come around you should both be on the same page and work together like professionals.
