Another, unrelated thought. It might be interesting to divide the teams at each competition into Red and Blue divisions. You get partnered within your division and play against the other division, exclusively. Perhaps, at Nationals, the divisions would partner within the division and oppose the other divisions (IE Curie versus Einstein, Archimedes, and Newton).

Although I don't agree with the rest of the post - The top eight teams in each division are usually among the top 25% of robots at a comp anyway, and there's no way (or reason) to eliminate luck entirely - I do like the idea of being partnered within your division and playing those teams outside your division.
It would give everyone a team to root for in each match. The trouble with it is that it would probably make the scores more random, not less.
