Again, the feild was not changed, just the two center robots were changed from white-white to blue-red. The only part that would have to be changed for the rules is 1) all robots behind end zone, which does seem kinda unFIRST-like, no struggle at the end. 2) they just changed the colors of the robots which were previosly white so that one was blue, and one was red.

and also, it waswn't just a triangle. It was a triangle with three different sectors (one blue, one red and one white) and three people of corresespnding colors with their arms extended to the same color sector of the tetrahedron.
I hope this images stays attached. its a screenshot of that part of the animation. you can see what i was talking about. If you still disagree, thats fine. It's just my opionion. lol, it doesn't relaly matter, i guess...

SOrry for continuing, just wanted to show everyone what i meant.
The game was always 3v3. There never was a "White" alliance, just "RED" and "BLUE." The opening shot in the animation is just the cover artwork used on the competition programs, and the three figures are meant to represent the three teams on the alliance.

The last minute change referred to during the kick off had to do with the new compiler from Microchip.
