Go to Post Kids should already be motivated to build the best robot they can, and learn as much as they can. They shouldn't need extra incentives. - Matt382 [more]

I didn't see anything comparable to that this year - to some extent it was shifted up to Einstein, but I didn't see those deep, skilled "IRI-lite" alliances this year. 1671 being the notable exception, not sure how they slipped that far.
To be fair, 3467 shouldn't have slipped that far either.

I'm interested to see how the dynamic of the game would have changed if divisions were as deep as they were in 2013 or 2014.
I think that most alliances would be able to clear out every normally available tote, instead of just a select few of them.
More matches would have been decided on can races alone.
I'd wager that if we had a traditional 4-division championships, then upside-down totes and step totes would have actually mattered to win on Einstein.

But that's meaningless conjecture.
I'm not sure Championships being weaker overall matters as much, as long as the best are there, and they eventually rise to the top.
