FIRST has a history of teams wins losses and ties. I think it would be interesting rather than having a JV Varsity division, have teams of robots that you compete with throughout the comp. You could easily arrange these teams based on records. It would also bring upon an aspect of long distance collaboration which is critical in business and even certain college projects.
