Regarding the thought on a lottery, I wouldn't like to spend my senior year building a really good robot, then get stuck with a not-so-good ally for the whole tournament, and not do as well as we could.
And the other possible flaw is that a five day national would be out of many teams' price ranges, especially those that couldn't make it to (or barely made it to) this year's three-day nationals. I know a lot of teams can't go to regionals or can only go to regionals (and not nationals) because the expense is already so great.

...but, just throwing out thoughts. It's definitely a good thing to be brainstorming on this
