I don't know if this has been posted or not but what about in a case where a team is without a robot because of damage or something else? This was our case twice. We were allied with a team that had damaged their robot and were unable to compete. We made an agreement with the opponents. I don't see the unfairness in that.
As for fixing the match to maximize scores, it will eventually come down to the playoffs and that strategy won't work anymore. If your robot is really great, others will notice you even if you didn't make the big points. That was our case again, even though we were 28th after the seeding matches Clark Magnet Robotics was nice enough to pick us to compete with them. It's not against the rules to make the agreements, its just not very "professional."
