You are not "helping your opponents score" by using your robot to score IN LIEU OF THEIR ABILITY TO DO SO. You are merely padding your ranking stats.

Your opponents would be better served if you helped them improve their design BEHIND THE PIT CURTAIN. That is where the true cooperation takes place.

Cooperate BEHIND the curtain; compete IN FRONT OF it. Merge the two to get your "coopertition". That formula has worked for years.
