I am a big supporter of going back to 2v2 since I like having head to head competition much better than racing against a clock. However, with that said, I would be willing to accept racing against the clock if it were 2v0 instead of 4v0.

My biggest objection to this year's game is that each team has only 25% control over it's destiny. I thought we had a great robot this year and we were constantly not where we wanted to be because all year we had bad luck befall our partner teams.

I love competition (even this year's style is okay), but I want to have a little more control over what happens. So, if FIRST wants to continue with no head-to-head, then at least scale it back to 2 team alliances so we get a little more control.
