And since your loading lane is on the other side of the field as your driver station it would be pretty hard to communicate that the other alliance has broken the deal. Giving your even more incentive to cheat.
Just like the noodle agreement in 2015, and the boulder agreement last year (2016) I( would hate for this to become a reality and really, really, really hope this doesn't happen.

This. If the thread title is *** agreement, then it is likely to be so scheme to play the game not as intended.

Take it from a team that mastered tank treads and still hasn't built them in over a decade - it's not worth it. - Isaac501 [more]
