If the Coopertition Bridge is not balanced, but a Robot from each Alliance is fully supported by the Coopertition Bridge, each Alliance will earn 1 Coopertition Point.

I thought only the two balanced robots got the coop points too, until I reread the rules. This certainly changes things. I'm sure this is a rule that many teams do not understand.

In an elimination match the best strategy would be to have the two weaker robots immediately go and double balance and have the best robot score balls and then go balance on the coopertition bridge at 60 seconds.
