Now I'm curious if a team in the top 8 or gets bumped into the top 8 can decline an alliance captain spot on the basis of a non-functioning robot (a reason you'd decline an invitation from outside the top 8 most of the time).
In 2011 at West Michigan, 2153 declined their bumped-up invitation to be #8 captain, IIRC, for traveling-home reasons. So, it's happened.
