Yeah randomized teams sounds kinda fun. I do think Lep is right to say you guys should try to figure out teams beforehand if only so that people can work together to make a unifying theme.
Or, maybe you could try and give a prep period the day of the tourney? For example, you could do like you were planning with the random teams being assigned that day, and after give like an hour or two of prep time for teammates to get acquainted and work out a small amount of strategy as well as making modifications to their bots so that they sync up a little better. It's not much but it's something. It's especially doable because most of you guys are already familiar with each other. It'll be easier in general for you guys to work things out quickly and efficiently.
Team fights gogogo!
