Basically, if either alliance has a strategy that relies on countering their opponent's strategy and wants to force the other alliance's hand, they advise the Head Ref who will enforce placement order. If your opponents don't like where you put your robot, that's their problem. You put your robot in a legal place, and as long as it's legal nobody can complain.
