I think it could work at the Regional level. But I would only join up with teams that have a good track record and continuity of personell.

In the west that would be Beach'Bots (so I'm prejudiced), Crusher, Kingman, Cheesy Poofs, and Homer to name a few good candidates. There are also some good up and coming teams that could fit here, Archer and Bell come to mind. The problem would be who to leave OFF the field.

Of course all of these teams would want to lead the alliance and so we could actually be worse off. Anyway all of this would have to be done even before the kickoff so the "chores" could be divided within hours of the game revelation. That way each team could focus on the perfect robot to do its function. Any later than that is too late. So on this we were already behind when the game was revealed. But next year might be a different story. I can see tentative agreements being made even now...

I'm speaking as someone who works on inter-company teams for a living and no negative reflection meant on teams I didn't mention.
