I love this quote. My thoughts exactly.

I like how this would definitely reduce the huge redesigns unless the alliance is going to field 2 bots for the first few matches. The only problem I see is that the 3rd bot for the Division win is then most likely going to be sat out for the Einstein matches in favor of the "backup".
