I've posted it before, but I agree. Let the top 16 teams pick allies in Florida.

Also, I know it's too late, and might even be a dumb idea, but what about letting a few teams which only competed in regionals actually send their robots to EPCOT - NOT as entrants, but as fill-ins for teams which do not have a robot show up at the field for a match. That way at least random teams are not getting automatically knocked out of top 16 contention just because of a bad luck of the draw in pairings. Teams have worked too hard & too long to travel all the way to Florida to have only 4 mathces and then not even get a fair chance in one of those matches if your allie can not compete.

Anyway, that's my two cents. Regardless, I'm sure everyone will have a great time in Orlando. We are looking forward to it VERY much.

Jason
