I like #1 (alliances) better than #2 (no alliances). I think 67's proposed format at the eliminations would showcase offensive robots.

What about having 3 teams of 2 robots each ?

3 teams of 2 eliminates a lot of the defensive robots because you can't guard two alliances at once. I think no matter which game format they choose, I want to see more offense. Therefore I think they should move away from the current format of 2 alliances because defensive robots should not be the main strategy.
