The mighty Dave has spoken, but he's up past his bedtime and I think he's just rambling now.

And I know enough now not to trust anything he says.
Really, though, I think that a 3 on 3 structure would be very interesting, it would create a much more dynamic competition environment where all 3 strategies work together, not just a simple "you do this one aspect, we'll do the other." Additionally, the challenge of the field team keeping up with 3 opposing robots in addition to your own 3 would be nice, in my opinion, simply because of the challenge itself. I look forward to a challenge. After all, to use the cliched JFK quote: We choose to do things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. (paraphrased) Afterall, that's why I'm in FIRST, because I enjoy the challenge. Also, it seems FIRST has been weening us towards this, from the 3-team finals alliances that we've seen the past couple of years.
