Plz allow me to clarify something for all of you, collsion implies that there is an "agreement". there were no actual deals initiated by our team, after a conversation with our drivers, they simply told the other side that knocking down the stacks was stupid.....and they weren't going to do it unless there was a reason to....which i agree with. Instead of everyone winning everyone loses. Other then that, there were no other arrangements. If you feel that you must knock down our stack to win...then by all means try...our drivers are very protective of said stacks. The problem here is that the game was designed for stacking and knocking down of stacks, but most people read the rules and decided not to build something that could stack...this has gone from a finese competition to who can build the biggest bulldozer.....and for that i fault the idealism of FIRST leaders...but that is for another thread alltogether
Then if you see a need to educate teams on the best way to score high, why don't you do it for all the teams at the competition? Not just the ones you are up against. In my opinion this isn't very gracious professionalism, by only selecting a few teams on how to score high. By one alliance telling another alliance how to play, it makes scouting that make hard for finals. I know that we look for teams that play the game "smart" not ones that always win.
