I think a lot of people would like to see an alliance of great teams playing another alliance of great teams. The whole thing would be for the fun of it! This may be a better idea for a 3 round thing at IRI, but it would be really awesome to have 24 "Peoples Choice" robots playing each other.

Tell me what you think....

Youll have to do it at nationals and not afterwards since alot of good teamare both from east and west coast and middle america, not to mention international teams, and not all the best robots go there (945 comes to mind and 69.. both won two regionals but didnt go to nationals) and the popularity vote will be greatly influenced by NASA's and Soaps Coverage of events (if it wasnt for them i wouldnt ever see any of the good teams play from east coast)

and alot of teams dont even have ties to the rest of the first community so they wont know about other robots, only the ones they see at their competetions.

and i guess will it be an individual votes or votes by teams?, and then youll have to setup a electoral system (you can do it online but some people might cheat the system) or u can have ballot boxes at nationals and peopl stuff them and hear the results at the end

My Several Cents
