Also for the finals for regionals and championship, add an additional robot to a three team alliance. This would help bring more robots into play and create interesting matches.

Example

Quarterfinal Match 1

Red Alliance : 25, 195, 1114 ( Robot on the side: 204)
vs
Blue Alliance: 486, 365, 341 ( Robot on the side: 395)

Quarterfinal Match 2

Red Alliance: 25,204,195 (Robot on the side: 1114)
vs
Blue Alliance: 365, 341, 395 (Robot on the side: 486)
I would also encourage the selection of the "spare" bot by having an additional playoff partner, rather than the current method. Going back to the older method of having one bot sit out each playoff match allows 8 more teams to compete in the playoffs. More teams are rewarded, and the bot on the bubble doesn't sit there and wait -- not wishing bad luck on anyone, but hoping to get an opportunity to play.
