I've read through most of these posts about the
alliance problem and I think that most teams aren't
angry at the alliances themselves, but angry at the
fact that they didn't get picked for the elimination
tournament. The top 8 teams (16 nationals) are up
there for a reason, therefore they deserve to
participate in such an event as a tournament to decide
the final champions. The alliance thing allows teams
to get to know other teams well, which definitely aids
the alliance picking process.
Now for the scoring system. I believe that getting 3x
the losing team's score adds the aspect of strategy to
the game. This way, big offensive robots can't kick
the crap out of little ones and make out big.
Versatile and consistent robots become much more
valuable over 'super-robots'.
All in all, I hope that FIRST keeps consistent with the
idea of alliances and strategy, and also that they
continue to devise complicated games for us.
