47/100= 30/64-35.25/75
30-36 teams in the division with eliminations-worthy robots. That sounds just right to me.

You will inevitably lower the bar across the board, meaning with a division that is inherently weaker (if you are adding any more teams to CMP, I'm going to wager the new average ability of a robot at the 400+n level will be lower than the average ability of a machine at 400 teams). Just like with the new college football playoff where there will be a 5th place team that wants to get in instead of a third place team, you could argue that any number of robots "could have made eliminations" if you are lowering the overall average ability of teams in the division.
