I agree with the many who don't have a problem with choosing your own B-team, and I also agree with the many who point out the problems with a no-captains policy. Keep it free - works best that way.

We had this system at our offseason competition. It worked really well, and there were no alliances with two robots from the same team, in fact there were a couple of instances of teams playing AGAINST their second robots. We lost to our practice bot in the finals (of course, they were allianced with 1678 and 2122 )
