Time-Outs, Give it or keep it?

I talked to a bunch of people at Detroit about this and got mixed answers. So this is the situation, in the finals, the other alliance has a problem with their robot, is trying to fix it, has already used their timeout, and your alliance still has their own timeout card. It is only the semi finals so there are still a few matches left if you don't get eliminated.

Should you call a time out to give the other alliance a chance, or keep it for your alliance just in case?

I myself would give it away in a second because i would rather play a fair match than a 2 against 3 any day, and it just seems like a perfect example of gracious professionalism. Some people though, thought that it isn't cruel to keep it for yourself, and you shouldn't feel pressured to give it away.

Say whats on your mind/ what you would have done.
