Re: 2013 Game Hint!
Without increasing the size of the field (which would potentially have major venue problems for established regionals), I don't think we'll ever see 3v3v3 - the field can already get cramped (at times) with only 6 robots!
that said, 2v2v2 is possible. You could even fit 4 stations on one side of the field, and two on the other - in other words, there would be minimal need to change the field design/layout, which would help reduce costs.
I could see that leading to an interesting strategy game... Coopertition points for all 3 alliances if at least two alliances do X together, but if 2 alliances do it, it gives the third alliance an advantage in scoring. That could create an interesting dynamic between trying to score a lot of points and needing to get coopertition points for seeing placement (if seeding went with the same win/loss/coopertition structure as this year). Would we see a situation where the three alliances agree to coopertate ONLY if all 3 participate equally, given the scoring advantage to no one?
