Re: 2015 HINT DISCUSSION

I didn't read through all of the thread, but there seemed to be a lot of speculation on 3 alliances with a triangular field. Obviously, a lot of people have already pointed out the issues with a triangular field (cost of building all new fields, the AndyMark field).

But it got me thinking of 3 alliances and hire you wet hold prevent a 2v1 scenario. Pure speculation/wishful thinking, but what about 3 alliances of two robots, with the drive teams split so your alliance member was on the other side of the field. Some sort of cooperation game (Recycling the assist concept?), But with an added twist... Some sort of bonus or multiplier that can be earned by one half of the field (ie half of each alliance) working together at least partly. It would add a whole other level to game strategy that we haven't really seen... Like the coopertition bridge, but more in depth.
