3 Teams Per Side Too Many?

One problem, though...how do you track that?

This year on Curie, I did real-time scorekeeping. There was a shortage of RTS folks across the entire dome, so we resorted to creative means (read: recruiting a few media guys from Heatwave) to get the absolute minimum on our field. (Granted, RTS this year should have been a three-person job--but that's another story. Don't worry, I already suggested it to FIRST.)

Just from how recruiting volunteers can be at times (there was a white board each morning in the volunteer area with open positions), I really don't think FIRST has the ability to track the scores and the robots at the same time. Of course, you could always create such a system with your team and publish the information somehow.
