It's probably the "least pain" method, and it increases the work for multiple teams, but it ought to work fairly well.
It would be a wise idea for the "ship targets" to be
a) close to the competition venue (like 190 for the WPI Regional, or a team in downtown DC for the DC regional...)
b) well publicized by FIRST. It would make the teams in the UK, Brazil, etc very happy. And FIRST would get brownie points from all of us in the US.
