Concept: 10/10 or higher.

Execution/Implementation: Reminds me of an FRC team getting an idea at 2:30 AM two days before ship and barely managing to implement it before ship. As in, it'll work, but it's almost certainly not the best way to do it. We'll see how the judging goes--if they don't get enough to fill the pool at Championship, then the execution is an EPIC FAIL. (It's currently close to regular fail.)

If they'd had the announcement out last week, teams could probably have flooded the inbox for the list. As it is, Bill's Blog (from Wednesday) states that they had 5 total submissions the day after opening--at the time, 2 days after the initial announcement. It'll be interesting to see how many were actually submitted, and I'd bet that with an extra weekend, there'd have been a lot more coming in. Or even with the extra couple of hours gained by extending the deadline to some time in the evening--say, 8 PM EST, or even midnight in the same time zone--there would probably have been a substantial increase.

No comment on the submission process; I'm not familiar enough with that entire system to say anything that would actually make sense.
