Alliances teach students a great deal regarding working with
diverse groups to ahcieve a common, desired goal. This is something
that is essential for success in the workplace and really provides
for very interesting matches during FIRST competitions. I think a
quick look into the business world clearly shows how common 'alliances'
have become. Just look @ the pharmaceutical industry or the automotive
industry and one can see that 'alliances' are here to stay. So for the
students, since this will surely be present during your tenure in the
business world, why not make it a regular part of FIRST. Could you
imagine 5 on 5's.
