Very true, although I can see them still enforcing something to promote teamwork in the game.

Re: 2015 Game

Teamwork is good.
Although footballs. That would be a metaphorical hell for many teams. FIRST wouldn't disadvantage rookies like that... I think. If they did that, there would have to be an endgame to even it out.
Hockey pucks would be interesting.

Picking up footballs and dumping them into a low goal (as opposed to throwing them) would be a very rookie-level activity.

difficult to pick up, but you can still push them around

Some rookie teams did do that in 2013. They would dump Frisbees into the low goal.

Red and yellow mixed together? Just like the pins from the Rick Astley game hint... Yellow alliance confirmed!

If they did three alliances the third would white to go with the FIRST logo.

How will us "reversible bumpers" teams manage a triple reversible bumper? I suppose it IS possible, though I feel sorry for the seamstress/seamster who has to do it

I doubt it. White bumpers would be insanely dirty, and would also be harder to notice compared to red and blue possibly, giving the white alliance a disadvantage.

I agree. I think a green alliance would be the most likely color for a third alliance, though my opinion still stands that we will see 4v4 before any NvNvN matches.

A green alliance would seem practical, it would also be the same darkness as blue and red roughly so no advantages/disadvantages with visibility. Yellow is quite bright, good for game pieces but maybe not for bumpers. Imagine a yellow high goal for aerial assist. With the lights too. Owch.

Does anyone think that there may be a possibility that coopertition points will return? I apologize that this off topic.

I hope not. I've seen nothing but negative feedback regarding them. I think assists were FAR more effective at an incentive for teamwork than giving your opponents points in edition to yourself.

I 100% agree with this. Assist points were much more effective and promoted FIRST's goal of teamwork much better.
