Money, to at least some extent, won't buy you a better robot, and it's more inspirational for a team to have more chances to prove themselves. I have never seen my team more dedicated and inspired than between events. Everything gets real then.

I agree, but i think that you should attend one event every year that your team has absolutely no chance of wining. While many of my fellow students and I learned a few things from a few robots at our regional, we learned a hundred thing from every robot at CMP, so i would suggest making the second event something where the field of play is incredibly high.
