Well, I may have 'misremembered' the specifics of the response, but the one I found is below. Although this person specifically asks about forcing a tie, I firmly believe that FIRST would give the same answer to any type of on-the-field cooperation.

Dean often compares FIRST to the real world of competition. In that world, competitors might help each other on a project, but they are not allowed to split up the market.

"rigging" the game Posted: Jan 12, 2003 3:47 PM

If the two alliances decide before the beginning of a match how they will play the game and execute a strategy where the two alliances cooperate with each other to acheive a tie, are the two alliances violating the spirit of FIRST or the maxim of "gracious professionalism"?
