I agree completely. That is how the real world works. Also with 2v2 you have to make your robot more durable because of interaction with robots that you're not working against. In the real world, if you design something, it had better not be flimsy. If it is,
you won't be sucessful. This year people got away with making flimsy robots that would break if they got bumped. We need more confusion because the world is a confusing place.

: Here is my main reason for supporting a return to 2 vs 2:

: I agree that it is important for all the teams in FIRST to cooperate. However, I don't think that it is necessary to have 4 vs 0 to do so. Indeed, I think the great strength of FIRST is that all teams work together and help each other even when they are not forced to.

: I see 4 vs 0 as almost a sort of gimmick which screams "Look at us! We're cooperative!", while not actually promoting any more cooperation than 2 vs 2. In the 'real world', competition and teamwork are both important; I believe that FIRST had found an excellent balance between the two with 2 vs 2 and has now overshot it with 4 vs 0.
