Re: FIRST does have other options re Enistein.
I think it's also important to recognize the alliances that did not make it to Einstein very possibly because of comm issues.
Like 341, 254, and 78 who put up the all time high score of 128 points in the curie semis, but were eliminated in the finals because of communication issues. (*edit, as stated below, this however was not the fields fault.)
Or what about 1717, 469, and 2471. They had (very arguably) the 2 best scorers from 2012 on their alliance but were eliminated in the semis of Newton after 1717 died in almost every match. (*edit, turns out this was caused by a bad cable that linked the crio to the radio of their robot, so not the fault of the field)
It's impossible to know if they would have won their division but because of communication issues we will never know.
