Kevin,
Forgive me for being redundant as I have said this before on many occasions...
I was just wondering, to whom are we giving the hard lesson?
The two alliance partners that now will almost certainly lose the match even though they came to play.
OR
The three opposing alliance partners that know they are winning because the other alliance can only field two or maybe even one robot instead of showing they are the better alliance?
OR
The sponsors (who want to see how their thousand(s) of dollars have been spent), parents, mentors, school administrators (who are faced with cutbacks and budget concerns), school board and families of the losing alliance?
Given a choice between everyone competing and having a few teams get an extra match or two, I know which one I would pick.
