You missed the point completelly. This is not a "strategy", this is a very unfair way to run the game. Beating the people who do this is not the concern. Having the people who do this choosing alliances is. It's totally unfair.

My argument is this:
I think this is COMPLETLY fair because
1. There is no rule against it
2. All teams are free to do it.
This means that no one team really gets any advantage. It raises EVERYONE's scores. The best robots still have the highest scores.
The debate in my mind is whether this strategy is in the spirit of FIRST. Just because something is fair, does not mean it is what we should be doing.
I think it adds a diplomatic aspect to the whole game. Also, I would encourage teams who do this to consider wheither it is actuly in their advantage (no matter how you spin it, it
is a zero-sum game).
