I think it is wrong to conflate FRC games with the one-shot Prisoner's dilemma. In fact, I think it's more reasonable to model them more as infinitely repeated games, as a team's reputation stays with it forever. Depending on how much each team cares about their reputation, this can lead to situations where cooperation is the nash equilibrium of the prisoner's dilemma.

Here's a good Wikipedia article on the subject: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_t..._(game_theory)
