Re: Why I love the coopertition bridge
Quote:
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. |

My opinion: If your alliance is outgunned you should send your weakest balancing bot to try and co-op while your other two bots balance on your bridge and secure a win. |

Re: Why I love the coopertition bridge
I love the bridge because it forces opposing alliances to interact in a positive way in a game where without it there would be no interaction. It's a spawning point for chemistry between drive teams before eliminations, and when all the teams start working for a common purpose as one unit, it strengthens FIRST as a whole. The bridge is just a microcosm of it.

Re: Why I love the coopertition bridge
You should send your best driving team to climb to assure the bridge will be successfully balanced.

Re: Why I love the coopertition bridge
Strategically, the Co-Op bridge is more important than the alliance bridge, and thus you should send your best bots to balance. Ranking wise, it is identical, except for the fact that 3 other teams in an event of 60 move up faster. It also helps build good will, which is not to be underestimated. In general, it is more polite for both alliances to send their best scoring bots to the bridge so that the other one doesn't see it as a ploy to win the match by pulling away their scoring capabilities.
