Here's a gutsy strategy move: During the qualification rounds teams agree to go 5 on 1 against 1114 and 469 so that neither is the number 1 seed. If either is the number 1 seed, common sense indicates that they'll pick each other and then you have an uphill battle from there.
During the quals... Say 1114 (or 469) is red, then the two red robots could park in front of their own goal while the 3 blue robots play normally. Yes, the red robots would be sacrificing themselves for the match, but they would help keep 469 and 1114 away from the number 1 seed. Lose the battle, win the war.
Do I like the idea? No. Could it help break up a hugely powerful alliance? Yes. Will it work? Yet to be determined...
