I don't see it happening this year. Certainly not at the regional level (some regionals are just too small), and likely not at Atlanta. I would submit it to the radical tournament ideas thread when it opens after Atlanta.

On a side note, would anyone like to try this at a large offseason event? Offseason events are great places to tweak tournament rules to see if they can be improved. (Or to just play differently--the Fall Classic 2006 comes to mind, when there were only two robots per alliance and no backbot rules in place.)
