I think it would be most interesting if a team entered their FIRST bot and modify it to a be a battle-bot. If they did well, which they very well may, it would really show up the battle-bots community.

I agree. What most people don't know is that the vast majority of battle bots never appear on TV; only the best of the best make it. Even without modification, I would bet many FIRST robots could do well in battle bots simply by pushing the opponent into the arena hazards. Wheels might need new treads for gripping metal instead of carpet, but overall I think it could do very well.
