Re: TEST Einstein BEFORE the BIG-show... here's a proposed approach...

I love the idea of somehow opening Einstein to the top seeded teams, rookie or otherwise, who weren't picked in their division. Maybe it's just the robots who would otherwise be on standby. Maybe leave the top ranked unpicked robot ready to roll at their home field and let the others play on Einstein. If the left behind robot is picked then you pull out the next one from the Einstein matches.

I know from experience that about the worst thing you can be is the 4th highest seed unpicked robot. You can't pack up but the chances of you playing are next to nil. This would give those teams a fun consolation prize.
