Last year, Team 48 was fortunate to be able to pick 148 as our 4th team. When 469 had problems, they stepped in admirably and helped get our alliance to one win away from the finals. Also, once 469 fixed their issues, they were able to return and compete in another match--something that the current rule of a permanent replacement by the next available bot on the list would not have allowed. We would definitely vote to continue that rule adjustment this year.
