Just a thought.
And so in a division of 100, you'd make 76 robots wait until the final division match to pack up? What about an alliance deciding they'd rather have a specific undrafted robot for their matchup, rather than one of the original picks?

No, having teams draft their backup is a better plan. Of course, this has the unfortunate aspect of qualifying yet another team for the Championship from regionals.
