It all has to do with value - the cost per match. More robots per match is one way to get each robot out there more often, bringing the average cost down. In 2005 we went to 3 on 3 because FRC had grown to the point that the cost per match got too high.
While 4 on 4 is definitely a possibility as we continue to grow, we have also seen in the past year that something like FIRST in Michigan's model is another way to increase value, with several other side benefits.
Besides, the field can already look crowded with 6 robots.
