But either way, I still consider placing a GEAR and scoring FUEL to be more beneficial than scoring two GEARs.
If your partner can place a gear onto a lift, they should just do it on an actual lift. If they can't place a gear onto a lift, then this strategy isn't helpful. If they're 50-50, this is only good if it's somehow easier to place onto your robot than the actual lift, and even then, was it worth all that extra effort?
