Some of these newcomers tend to be rather well-regarded teams.
I think dropouts/ins will be handled pretty much like the rest of the leagues do it--the picker has a hole in their lineup and can immediately draft any other available team. Since the entire FIRST Robotics Competition is fair game, I doubt we'll have a lack of teams.
