Instead maybe it should be a independently run show with a small illusion to Looking Forward, having a portion of the show being about Looking Forwards accuracy, and if he/she agrees the top 25 teams and picks.

Who ever really wants to undertake this project should look into its feasibility and find area correspondents, maybe that could help out, cover a couple of regionals. But it sounds like an awesome idea, i'd love to contribute.
It might just be my past interest in Beowulf clusters, but every time I see a large challenge esp. one that is naturally multithreaded involves multiple unrelated events, I start thinking about parallelizing the process. To that end, going decentralized and just having 2-3 people per event record a ~10-15 minute discussion of the robots and happenings at an event seems like a more practical model.
