This might be able to be handled if teams registered with FIRST a 'prefered lane assignment' like you do when you fly. If the lane is open and uncontested, then you get it. If both you and your partner prefer opposite lanes, you are BOTH made happy.....if both of you want the same lane, then FIRST flips a coin and assigns you....either way, it is all done by FIRST at the speed of a computer program. (Which seems to be what they want)

Now, it is true that you and your partner do not get that choice.....but at least you get to choose your strategy knowing where you are.

NOTE: This 'prefered lane' would NOT be used by FIRST to choose partners. (although you might use it in the finals to choose partners I suppose)
