I have never been a fan of the third bot.

It has some advantages, but I think that it muddies the water too much.

(This is from at team that would not have advanced to the round of 8 without the 3rd partner in our sweet sixteen matchs at the Nationals)

It is hard enough trying to make an alliance work with two teams. It is even tougher with 3.

I know that some alliances worked in all 3. I know most didn't.

I also know that many sports teams have players with Superbowl rings that never played a down in the playoffs. This is a different situation in my opinion because that player likely has a long term relationship with the team -- certainly longer than the 1 hour most alliances had in FL to get to know each other and plan their strategy.

I would really prefer that FIRST just say that broken robots are part of the game.

This would require FIRST to stick to its guns on some time out limits but I think that it would be better than what we currently have.
