Yeah, I think that would be fun. It would obviously be totally random...but then you might end up getting in a 'region' with a bunch of really really good robots. And if you're robot is average-good, you would have less of a chance of making it to the finals than perhaps if you were in another 'region.' And *then*, at the end, you couldn't really compare QPs among the regions either since the robot abilities would be varied by region - higher QPs could mean something better in a region with better robots. I don't know. But I think that you can't really find a perfect solution to this- you just can't have all the teams together *and* be known amongst each other at the same time. And the region suggestion definitely has fewer disadvantages than having everyone together. So yeah, good idea. I like it. : )
