This one I like, and has been suggested by others. Let some of the well attended-well run pre-ships be run with the full official field and full official scoring. They already do this with one event, but it may be wise to do it with multiple events.

Have FIRST build some robots and play with them with 'real scoring' in the 9-months that they have to design the game.

They already do this. The problem is that, as brilliant as the GDC members are, they just can't match the manpower of every FIRST team combined. We will inevitably find things that they do not.

Live with the rules they came up with even if they suck.

So instead of fixing something that they felt was broken, they should just allow the other 4 weeks of regionals to play with the same broken rules? They should allow the seeding system to degenerate into cesspool of prearranged 6v0 matches? I hardly see how that would have been of benefit to anyone.
