TRUE QUILIFYING
Take the winners of 23 regionals = 69 teams
Take the finalists of 23 regionals = 69 teams
Take the regional chairmans winners = 23 teams
Take the regional animation winners = 23 teams
Take all chairmans winners from years past (not regional)=12
Take all animation winners from years past ~ 10
Take all previous years grand champions ~ 30
Thats a total of 256 teams.
It allows teams who have shown they have a good robot/strategy in the current year to go.
It allows the teams that have show that they can exeplify the true meaning of first to go.
It allows all previous winners of the major awards to go since they earned it.
Instead of even/odd I personally think this would be better.

Why animation winners?
What about the 12-year teams?
If making a competitive event is your primary concern, wouldn't it be better to have all current year technical award winners? This would ensure that the most interesting/well made/innovative/technically advanced bots would be at "the championship"
I prefer the "nationals" mentality, not the "championship" mentality.
This would make for a more competitive competition, but would it truly be a better one? It all depends on your FIRST philosophy.
Think about what yours is, and decide whether the competition really is the most important part.
