Re: 3 on 3 - Mid-Competition Thoughts
What a great topic, Matt.

Here are my likes/dislikes:

Likes:
- more matches = more driving time for the drivers and more time for the robot.
- makes it important to have three good robots.
- there is always some action on some part of the field.

dislikes:
- sometimes too much action => difficult to follow the game.
- de-emphasizes a good robot - qualification matches is less likely to allow the good teams to rise to the top. Some good teams still rise to the top, but I've seen situations that really have me scratching my head (more so than in past years).
- more likelihood of a disaster for an alliance. In other words, we are 50% more likely to have a robot malfunction or other problem that affects the entire alliance.

Overall, I'm still evaluating. I can't quite make a call on if I like it or not.
