I would have the top preforming robots at each regional go - perhaps the top 4 alliances per regional.
4*3 = 12 robots per regional
12=26 regionals = ~312 robots at the nationals - maybe less if some teams win at multiple regionals.
312/4 = 78 teams per division, with 4 divisions.
Sounds good to me.
I think the larger issue at hand is what are the nationals?
Are they to see who has the best robot and strategy, or are they a vacation for anyone on a robotics team? I would like to think it is the former.
If rookies can get into one of the top 4 alliances, they would go. Otherwise, they should try harder next year. Being new doesn't mean you ought to get special priviledges.
