I do not wish to sound rude here....lets get this out of the way first of all.....but if, by your own admitance, you are new to this sort of thing, you REALLY should have thought it through first.

The main problem as has been bought up constantly, is your lack of structure. Storm2 is right....the seedings are not consistant. It should be 1st and 17th, 3rd and 19th, 5th and 21st, and so on all the way to 2nd and 18th. Or, if you want to do it more S5 style, it could start with 1st and 32nd, then go all the way to 2nd and 31st.

Seeds were there for a reason....to keep the "better" robots apart. If you remove the structure they provided, I don't really see the point in having them. Sorry.
