Thank you for the kind words...they mean a lot.

We should have enountered 35 different robots on the field; we only encountered 29 due to duplications/repeats.
Suggestion: have a human look over the match sheets once the computer generates them.

-Shelbo's Mom
Having a human look wouldn't work at all. You'd need a human to either have an amazing memory to notice certain things that show up, such as the same team playing with or against the same teams two or three times, in a match list of over 80 teams in 100+ matches, in 4 divisions, that would be hard in it's own right. Even if you had the manpower, how would you correctly change it making it "fair" for all teams. Having a human swap things around would be make it even more of an algorithm of doom.
Just my $0.02
