Marc,

Thanks for the laughs, very cleaverly written. The alliance issue has its good and bad points, in general I really like it - especially if/when FIRST is able to work out one or two of the kinks you mentioned.
About the 'wussification' of the game however, I think I disagree. Obviously there is no way to really know until the competitions begin, but maybe my team is strategizing wrong? Most of the scenarios we have conceptualized and debated result in VERY agressive and HARD hitting situations. We see robots BASHING each other (AND tipping) on the ramp while trying to guard, control, & access it. We also see robots pushing and hitting each other as they try to add / remove balls from each goal.

like I said, we could be completely wrong. But we think when the competition starts, many of your concerns will be alleviated. We think there will be a great deal of rough & tough play in this years game. We think robots will be very combative regardless of the scoring rules.
I 'think' I really like the game this year. I foursee a game which actually acocmplishes the virtually impossible - a 2 minute game in which teams help each other & show incredible sportsmanship & work together BUT, at the same time, contains VERY agressive, rough, and violent interactions. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out, but I think we are in store for a very exciting season.

Jason
