What if it was a train, on a track, the leader would be chosen at random, and the others have mechanisms that do the rest of the game. Such as activate turntables and such, or maybe have like ball cannons to fire into a center goal. The idea is, all three teams (or two) on an alliance have to work in perfect unison, or else it's all lost. In the case a robot does not come to the field, a blank board with the specificed track wheels is put in its place, and a different leader is chosen.

Don't imagine what I'm saying to be exact, I'm saying something similar could happen
That would be interesting, but extremely hard, and there would be no way to go against another team, because you'd have to be on separate tracks, othwise you'd collide.
