Maybe we might lose the alliances this year...or maybe you have alliances of three teams and only 1 robot is on the field at a time, but the pyramid idea is just as crazy as my 16 sided field idea too, if they were going for pyramid, how would you make it 3d? would you have to have something that can also climb up the side of it and there's something at the top of it all that you have to reach, and maybe in your alliances, each robot has to work together to reach the top, and maybe the field is an upside down V to look like a mountain.

So maybe we might not do pyramid field, but hexagon field and just one robot in the field at a time from the 3-robot alliance.
