Four teams working "Together" to gain high qualifying points, I believe is fair more "gracious" than four teams smashing and beating containers and each others robots to bits.
Don't be upset with the teams who have exposed this opportunity to score, you should be singing there praises for sharing the strategy with you.
Doesn't anyone remember the "Coopertition" Game a few years ago?
I don't think anyone of these teams prearranged who would win only that they would "leave your stacks alone" if "you leave our stacks alone" nothing wrong with that.....

Sorry Don- You can rationalize on this all you want but it is just wrong. The game this year is NOT coopertition or otherwise we would all have the same color domes on our robots.
Strategic maybe- ethical-no. And FIRST has said as much.
