what to do if the other alliance reneges on coop

[JamesCH95]

I really appreciate when teams talk about what happened with co-op post-match. It does no good to mark a team off your pick list if there is a reasonable explanation for what happened.

I felt bad after a match in Pine Tree where we failed to get the 4th Co-op tote up, I explained to the other alliance that we had an unmitigated disaster on our side of the field with stacks getting knocked over and totes getting dropped that we had no control over. We couldn't get to the yellow tote in time to score it.

We've also dealt with litter getting dumped all over the coop area from our alliance or the other alliance, making co-op an exercise in futility.

In general its a good idea to actually talk to a team about their robot and its performance rather than just going based upon on-field scouting, for a variety of reasons.
