2. The second option is just throw the last couple matches. This is a lot easier I'd imagine than trying to fix every robot. I just can't see any team doing it or their partners going along with it.

I'd hope that the best teams in pittsburgh band together to make sure every single robot is in top working condition. With only 2 rookies there is a good chance most will already be in fine shape, not to mention the rookies seem to get better every year.
The Second option is very ungracious and very unprofessional. Why go out and lose on purpose? Is that really what FIRST is about? You are showing no respect for your team or your allaince partners if you do this.
