I don't believe this is a good idea at all.

As stated before, not all teams have 'friend teams' that they can borrow points from. Also, how do you know that you aren't going to be starting hard feelings from this? Let's say there are two teams that need a boost in points to go to the Championship. One is fairly successful, but unfortunately isn't able to go because of the point situation; the other is only mildly successful but great friends with the team that has to decide. Who is to say that a team will make the 'right' decision when it comes down to it?

Also, we have had some dynamite rookies come through in the past. Some of these rookies don't have friendships through teams yet, and so their great teamwork/spirit/robot might get them only so far, and then they'd have to beg some other team to give them the rest of the points (and what if it were still to no avail?)

A good idea, but it just sounds like a troublemaker and too much paperwork for FIRST to handle. I think I would almost approve of a different form of gameplay before I'd agree to this. Nobody's to say that a team's decision would be correct, and other teams could hold grudges against them for doing so.

In a gracious, professional world, none of that would happen. But we are just working towards a gracious, professional world - we've still got a long way to go.
