Another way to get a GEAR from an alliance partner is to recreate the LIFT on your robot. Lots of robots are relying on the Human Player to lift the GEAR out of their robot already. So a horizontal rod on a vertical actuator might be easier to work with than expecting the alliance partner to drop the GEAR and pick it up then score it. But either way, I still consider placing a GEAR and scoring FUEL to be more beneficial than scoring two GEARs.
