Not that I endorse the idea either, but boy would that shake up the show. Randomizing the top 4 robots? Potentially this still creates the x+1 alliance, but it would also give other robots yet another chance at toppling the top.
At some regionals, it was shown that just being in the top 4 doesn't always mean an automatic bid to champs. Look at Oregon or Queen City. The 8th alliance beat out the #1s all over the place, and I'm sure there's other regionals where the #1 got upset by a lower alliance.
Going off of that idea, it'd be interesting if instead, it was 1-8, random pick order or random assigned.
