FIRST is always about supporting other teams and reaching out to one another to create a better community. The "Build your champion. Rally your kingdom." tag line steps beyond the usual red alliance vs. blue alliance camaraderie we normally see at competition. There is no mention of building a kingdom or alliances, so maybe larger pre-determined alliances (like champ divisions) that span the whole competitions instead of switching alliances throughout?
Theres always the possibility for more then three robot per alliances that could be switched out throughout playoffs putting more focus on creating well rounded alliances (or kingdoms).
But obviously I'm hoping for a stronger defense and strategy heavy game after a season that involved no defense and little diversity in alliance strategy.

I think that the 2014 game which required much more interrobot interaction led to teams helping each other much more. I've posted on this observation numerous times on CD. I don't think we need a fixed alliance to lead to greater coopertion; rather a game structure that creates more interrelationships.
