Re: Working with alliance partners

I would be interested in how other teams deal with potentially over-zealous (for lack of a better word?) qualification partners. By that I mean teams who say they can do something you know they really can't.

For example- in 2014, Taking a ball away from another team in autonomous to run a 2(+) ball auto

How do others remain GP and respectful to other teams while convincing them NOT to do something they really want to do.

In the past I have tried the following:

1) Presenting them with Raw Data to prove their idea is not necessarily the best. I have found this to be very blunt, and while it usually gets the job done, sometimes telling a team they haven't yet scored in auto isn't the most fun thing to do.

2) Playing nice and trying to slowly convince them that while their idea is "good", there may be a better alternative. This usually has less success as pretty much everyone likes to stick to their guns.
