What about 2 "bad" teams being paired? Would totally ruin FIRST for both of them.

I think Gope was trying to say how sometimes a team gets paired with a bot that doesn't move or usually has something malfunction and their alliance has to do all the work. Those matches (if the working partner is built to be able to win alone) causes a lot of stress on the team, and also usually the motors.)
Seeing a team pull off a 2 v 1 is good for the wow factor, but a lot of bots are built as a helper (i.e. most of the ball bots last year lost in 2 v 1 competitions because they coulnd't grab 2 goals or get 10+ balls in the one they could hold)


The cubes idea? Yea, I brought that up early on in the 'This Year's Game' Thread.
