IRI Rule Changes - 2012

I always thought the coop points added an interesting aspect to the game. In Tetraman's scenario, Team 0000 got seeded high for cooperating every match. And of course, people are complaining that team 000 should never had gotten the third seed. The problem I see, is teams who are complaining don't coop themselves sometimes, or don't make it their priority. If the "top teams" cooped each time and won the matches they normally would, then the top 8 would consist of the best robots fit to be in it. FIRST added coopertition to the seeding this year, and those who didn't play to it payed the price.

In a game where every "good" robot coops, there would be no confusion over why someone is in the top 8 when they shouldn't.
