Actually, as a coach, I'd be willing to compromise such that we implement the strategy that theoretically scores the most points, even if it meant we ride on the stretcher, effectively removing our robot (and its six weeks of work) from the match. If we place our egos above the good of the alliance, then we will find it harder to be in the finals, and that's our goal.

I've found that other teams are typically very willing to implement the strategy that maximizes their total score in my experience of being on the field and negotiating with other teams.

: I think that the single hardest thing you are going to
: have to do this year is get your alliance partners to
: merely go over to the other side and sit there.

: As a coach, you have to reach a compromise. that
: compromise isn't the strategy that theoretically scores
: the most points but the one that all four teams can
: agree to. You are going to have a very hard time trying
: to convince a team that spent 6 weeks working just as
: hard as you did to go and sit in the endzone, even if
: you can score more points if they do so.

: This comes from the experience of someone who has been
: on the field and tried to negotiate with other teams.
