: The biggest difficulty is trying to get accurate information on 85 teams. I predict that The top 2 teams will end up picking teams that they have played with at the nationals or at a regional. Because of the nature of these finals, it would not surprise me at all to see teams try to rebuild alliances that they had at regionals.

Actually I rather suspect that FIRST will be assigning the teams from each winning alliance to different divisions. Admittedly there are the "spare" robots to deal with and teams that won more than one regional with different partners. But if your were even a finalist I expect you'll have to sort through the crowd pretty carefully to find familiar robots.

Somewhere I saw the phrase "semi-random" attached to division assignments. I would assume that means they plan to assign the top robots to specific spots and the rest randomly.
