Cahoots!!!

Yeah, I believe in my heart that it was going on in the Gallileo Div. because our alliance in one of the matches told us that we should leave the stacks standing, like they knew if they talked us into it then the other team that we were against would pick them for the finals. I checked the other teams standings and sure enough they were in 4th place at that time. So just before the match I told the coach of the other team to defend our stack as in most play and they never came over to our side of the field to attempt to defend, we lost that match. And if they had played on our side I believe we could have seeded high up.
Our first match of Fri. we showed up on the field and our alliance partners didn't. We played our game as we had planned and won against 2 robots, it was a low scoring event 17QP's but we still won. Later on we were involved in a match that had no collusion what so ever and scored the highest QP's in Gallileo of 272 points. And we did it with one of the same team robots that we had beat in the first round when it was 2 bots on our one. Yeah I hope there will be a game next year that doesn't lend the opportunity to this type of "PREPLANNING" See ya all next year...
