If we were still to have alliances next year, I would definitely support this plan. Allies that didn't do anything was one of the reasons that we did so poorly. One question on your idea: what would happen if your ally didn't make inspection? Who would take their place? If they took another robot, that would make for some monster scheduling problems.
Ultimately, I'd like to see the number of regionals a team can go to limited to 2, and take the top 15 teams from each of those regionals to go to the Nationals. That way they could keep the number of teams down, thus eliminating the need for alliances altogether. I know I've seen this idea here before, but I really like it. I know it puts pressure on teams that might not put together the best robot, but that's just more of a challenge to build a better one. Thoughts?
