What if we were to Give each Alliance an Introduction Match on Einstein? When an Alliance is sent to Einstein, they make it a point to introduce them either via Video or by having them walk onto the field. Why not give each alliance the field for 2 minutes and 15 seconds and tell them 'Show 'em what you've got.' This serves a variety of purposes:

-Each Alliance Has what's essentially an uninterrupted Practice Match on Einstein. They can check Camera Calibration, Code, Tweaks, Communications, etc. If each robot runs during this intro match, you've now ruled out a bunch of machine issues from causing a robot to sit dead.

-These intro matches are going to be AWESOME for spectators. Imagine 2056, 1114 and 4334 on the field, uninterrupted driving the score up. It would be an EPIC sight. This gives everyone watching a good chance to get a feel for who's going to be playing on Einstein.

Or, Why not play Division Finals On Einstein? Basically, we'd be turning Einstein into a Full Elims Bracket with the Division Finals now serving as the Einstein Quarters.

I really like this idea. The full bracket would take some time, but the practice matches would be good pumping for the crowds and I would love to see all alliances and what they are capable of before the matches start.
