Does that mean 4 team alliances or 3 team alliances?

3

That means that each alliance will pick three teams to join their alliance and the teams can be switched out as they like.

Are we allowed to have a mixture of robots and human players, or is each human player only allowed to play if their robot is playing? For example, Team X’s human player can be in the match, even though their robot isn’t being used in that match?

Thanks,

Lots of qualification matches, pig roast, mentor rounds…I can’t wait. Team 1718 is excited and ready to play again! Only 8 wks to go!

GREAT QUESTION: You are not allowed to mix robots and human players.

Can’t beat it for only between $150-$200.
