How bout this: forget the alliance thing, i personally don't like it. Let only teams who finished in the top x of every regional go to the nationals thus keeping the nationals to a reasonable number of teams, say 128, make the games one on one, in both qualification and elimination. let the bots square off in one on one, no double teaming, single elimination matches just like the NCAA tornement. yes there might be some luck in any given match but it would be drastically reduced because each robot would rely only on themselves, also, get rid of the human player, it's a robotics compitition. if you look at the ncaa tornement most years one of the very top teams win, and there are of course the cindirella teams which give color to the tornement. First could be the same way. also to keep the contest offensive oriented keep the seeding the way it was this year, the seeding i thought was the biggest strength of this years game, by seeding by highest score everyone will want to build a robot that is more offensive, rather than sit back and play defense
