I definitely agree with you on that minimum functionality clause, because that would definitely reduce many of the qualms about alliances. I think that's most everyone's main concern with partnering up. If you know the robot can function, then you're only worry will be whether or not the are willing to compromise on a strategy with you (which is something that some teams just don't want to do). If the alliances were to continue next year, something about a robot's ability to work has to be taken into consideration.
And what about, like it Andy's case and other's, teams don't show up? Maybe points could be added to the team there, or at least subtract from the team that didn't show up (average in a zero for not showing up). In andy's case the lost, but i saw an impressive #176 robot, Aces High, win a match completely solo and their partner didn't show, that deserves something..
..so i think..
