I honestly see this as adding little to no time to the field reset they already have to do.
Also, don't assume that FIRST won't have multiple sets of discs (odd and even matches?) to facilitate faster field reset. They have done this before guys, they should only get better with each year.

Each event will have around 130 white, 15 red, 15 blue. Each event will also receive a number of replacement discs, but not an entire second set by any means.
I'm sure it will all work out in the end, but I foresee some more tweaks before it becomes a reliable system within the time constraints.

I'm sure FIRST would love to. Unfortunately, it probably wouldn't be very cost- or space- effective to send that many discs to all the regionals. Plus, it's hard to guage whether or not it will be necessary. I'm definitely going to wait and see how this weekend goes before I start getting too worried.
