Once the 72 teams are picked, you may want to set a deadline for that mentor round or even set-up a bidding process and deadline. It is for charity and i think alot more teams then 12 might want to get in. Opening bid $100.00. Also you might institute some rule for the placing of robots during finals and since you are going 1-8, 1-8 maybe the higher ranked team should place their robots first. Oh, and no time outs since you have four robots ready to go.
