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...
I think Curie can beat them or force 3 elimination matches with good "New England" defense and strong offense! Oh, strategy, strategy, strategy! Can't go wrong figuring out powerful match strategies. I don't think turning alliance members against the number 1 and 2 teams is a good idea.

And if 469 and 1114 get together, 30+ points is what you are capable of!
