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.

Sorry i failed to elaborate on this my point was more so, if your tasked with playing defense, getting a gear is not an effective strategy. If your tasked with getting gears, playing defense is not an effective strategy, however if your task is put up x gears what you do after/inbetween is up to you but get those x gears.
