Does co-op score at all? I could see in the QF's, for ex. with 1 v 8, it would be mutually beneficial to co-op and get 40 point bonus.

I had the same thought originally. This does not score in playoff matches (table 1.2 footnote)

This could work in Elims. Due to how the finals matches work, you could agree to do this in both matches, boosting you and your partner's averages. Since you agree twice, you get those points twice. All the teams will end up doing this because it leaves them higher scoring by doing it.

Personally, I would have a designated guard robot to protect the noodles for the last few seconds. that robot would sit with the noodles in front of it. If you sense foul play, simply drive forwards. The other robots on you alliance would be unable to go against the agreement because the noodles are protected.

You could also agree that if the other alliance touches the noodles after entering play, the deal is off. Both teams get 10+ points for them being in barrels or landfill, etc.

Well, the Coopertition bins I'm pretty sure are disabled during eliminations.

Re: The Noodle Agreement

If you put the 10 noodles near the landfill (but not in it), you can easily push them in at the last moment if the other alliance doesn't follow through.

You can push them in even if they follow through... thats the dilemma

I agree with most of what you are saying, but the potential for 18 additional points in the finals is enticing especially considering how easy it could be. I wouldn't write off that task.

Re: The Noodle Agreement

We thought of this too! Like the others said, it won't matter in eliminations, but hey.. those teams that cooperated in qualifications will sure get a huge head start.

Re: The Noodle Agreement

I think it makes more sense that alliances try and score half of their noodles in the recycling bin(depending on the two alliances capabilities) and the other 5 of the noodles should be left for the noodle agreement. This leads to max points unless one team got all of the recycling bins on the step. So do you think this is better or that it is better to leave all ten noodles for the noodle agreement?

Re: The Noodle Agreement

I know this might get some people to disagree, but the more I think about this the less I want to do TNA. I really don't think this is the way the game is meant to be played. The video calls these pieces "litter" for a reason: to deter us from giving the other alliance those points. And there are probably teams who are already planning on how to get the noodle in the recycling bin. What if, for some unforeseen reason, those teams do not see or hear about TNA? They will be out of part of their plan for this game. I honestly hope a rule is put into play to stop TNA from being able to happen. Just my personal opinion and people, including from my own team, may disagree.

That's what I was thinking, too. That would involve less risk in case the other alliance doesn't follow through. And it would give you an opportunity to score 6 points instead of 4 (which is a more realistic goal with just 5 noodles, instead of 10).
