Who thinks fixed alliances would be interesting?

I've always had this idea, and after hearing how accurate cross-year OPR averages are at predicting how teams will perform, I think it may be viable.

Essentially go through competition with the same alliance. Have a 3 team pit area where all 3 teams work together to create to perfect alliance, rather than the perfect robot. I imagine the alliance's being distributed a week before competition.

Similar to sports where its really an alliance that wins the championship, not a small selection of the best players. I think it would be pretty cool to see how fixed alliance's attacked a game vs random alliances. Also, to see how a 3 team alliance, utilized a pit would be pretty cool, you could have a lot more space if you were sharing it/tools and whatnot.

Also it would make it easier for spectators to follow what is going on as your would have 20 teams (alliances become teams) to follow as opposed to 60.
