I do like the idea of finding the strongest regional, however since the game changed so much from week to week and teams kept improving their robots Im not sure that asking regional winning alliances to stick together would be fair. Just for example, 177s alliance won the philly regional, but since then one team that stands out in my mind that improved A LOT was MOE... for that reason we picked them to be on our galileo alliance. Perhaps letting the winning alliance captains from each regional pick two other teams in their region would be a better way since the alliance captain is often the deciding factor on winning the regional. Then each regional is represented AND it is a better representation of the region also (because some teams may have travelled the country to go to certain regionals). That method would also reduce the factor of deciding who gets to go and who doesn't
