My mom tried to dragoon me into DJing the Lonestar regional. I beging off by saying I'm not a professional and don't hav equipment and stuff. I've been forced into doing the music for some smaller competitons, though, so I now have a fairly large selection of music. :^) Alright, so it's all in MP3s, so? it works... Anyways, on to some other points...

1. I swear that 2v2 or all together thing sounds MORE complicated. Of course, I don't mind complication. Personally, I don't think the scoring this year was all that complicated. It was just hard to do. I think complicated scoring systems are good because they encourage more thinking and creativity. I'd hate t show up at nationals and find out that everyone's robot is the same as mine. That'd be boring.

3. Varied surfaces would be difficult, I think. Dirt would be too hard to get consistent. Sand would be too hard on the motors and other moving parts. And as for water.. Enough teams have trouble just WIRING there robot, much less waterproofing it. I think there's one viable option. Little plastic pellets. One of our engineers says that's how they ship bulk plastic, and it's supposed to be cheap. The only problem with this is making sure all the teams can get enough to practice with...

6. You realize that the only options to keep water out of the pits are to raise the whole floor an inch or so, or move the pits to the high ground? barring that, you'd have to seal the entire bottom edge of the tent to the pavement and figre out how to keep water from coming in through the doors. Or you'd have to erect a barrier around the inside edge of the tent that's sealed to the pavement. Frankly, I think It'd be easier and more productive to quit fighting the forces of nature and hope we don't have another huge rain storm.
