While I also can't imagine FIRST abandoning alliances altogether, it may be worth noting that John Neun and George Burns are notable in baseball for having performed unassisted triple plays.

Neun and Burns both made UNASSISTED triple plays. Purple is the combination of Red and Blue. Maybe there are no longer alliances and you get extra points for doing something during autonomous.
Wow... I am having so many thoughts running through my head right now... but here is my first thought.

Red and Blue combined is the color purple. Is FIRST telling us that this year the line between blue and red alliances will be blurred somehow?

For example... will teams be rotated between alliances in the middle of the match? Will robots A,B, and C start out as an alliance against robots D,E, and F... and then at a certain point in the match, teams A and D switch alliances?

I could certainly see FIRST making a game like this, because it doesn't get rid of alliances and it still requires cooperation.

This is only one idea out of many, so I'm sure I will be posting more....
This is fun!
