Too much to do for every match to be the same.
When is an alliance not an alliance?
some of this has no counterpart in FIRST history
An alliance is not an alliance when:
a. Only one member of the alliance gets points for completing an objective
b. All robots must compete for one specific object/area, especially toward the end of a match
c. The alliances change (or are created/disbanded) partway through the match (or only revealed afterwords)

Too much to do/variation of matches when:
a. There are plenty of possible objectives in each and every match, and the creators believe that no robot will possibly be able to do it all
b. Many different objectives will be prepared but during each match only some of them will be available (certain areas of field closed off or only some objects placed on field)
c. Some object are put into game only at certain intervals (some very close to the end, perhaps) and robots will have no chance of getting all of the tasks complete by then

Inflatable Clowns come in small sizes too:
a. Those mini nemo-fishes are some kind of scoring object
b. Rich is just trying to confuse us
