If A and B place their five gears (plus the free gear), the alliance engages two rotors (80 points). If A, B, and C place their maximum eight gears, the alliance engages three rotors (120 points). However, if A and B place their five gears and C places one gear then plays defense, the alliance still engages three rotors (still 120 points) plus they gain whatever havoc C wreaks on their opponents.
+1 to Brian here. It's very alliance and match dependent.
