We're not assuming a partner starts in front of the pyramid, but exactly the opposite. We're planning for the best-case scenario: both of our teammates are total monsters and we don't want to get in their way. And in any other case, lets just say the other extreme (that WE'LL carry the team), we still won't be in anyone elses way.
Not to mention that it'd be very easy to plan autonomous from either back corner OR the middle, giving us three different starting positions, all of which give us the 3rd frisbee
In my book the team building experience of the kids training the engineers in the operations on the field would be invaluable. It might not get a trophy but you win far more in the long run.
