Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint

While I love the idea of 3 Alliances (3 teams of 2), and its implications on game play and strategy, I think that logistically it will be difficult. Three alliances would mean 3 sets of bumpers. If you have been down near the field during a regional (and I imagine district events too) you can tell see how much stuff is done to keep everything running smoothly, three alliances would complicate that. Keeping just red and blue strait for queuing takes effort. Scoring for 3 alliances would also be more complicated. While I love the idea, I don't think it's logistically probable. Although I do agree, if there are three alliances it is going to be red, white and blue.

I Also think we have over analysed that photo, there is a green screen because they wanted to add in backgrounds post production, there were three water-bottles because there were three people being filmed. I'm pretty sure that there were red and blue lights because that is how you set up lighting, but i'm not sure about that one.
