I also agree that Alliances puts allot of luck into the game but I do feel that alliances is great. I am not sure if this is possable but I would like to see alliance set at the start of the building and you to have only one partner. But that is very hard because you would have to be going to the same compitionions as your partner.

: I understand where you are both coming from...and my post on the other thread was written after getting worked up about it, and before I sat back and thought for a while. I am a strong supporter for the alliance system, though I do agree in that I have seen the games get progressivly 'easier' each year, since I started. There *is* a large amount of luck involved with the alliances, but as in real life, you don't always get to pick who you work with. It teaches us all to work around our shortcomings, and succeed. And isn't that what FIRST trys to instill in all of us?
