Here's the VERY REASONABLE response I got on entering our practice bot as a 2nd entry to the Cow Town ThrowDown competition:

"Teams can enter a second robot with a second entry fee, however the second robot will be placed on the waiting list. (A team will need to indicate which robot is their primary robot) We will fill the 48 spots with as many individual teams as possible, and fill with teams entering a second robot as needed. Thanks for your understanding of this as our goal is to have as many different teams compete that are interested. Please note that last year there were only 32 slots and this year we’re increasing the field to 48 so there’s a very good chance a second robot will get in. The deadline for teams for pay is Oct 1. If there are slots, your second team will come off the wait list and onto the roster."

We've indicated that we want our practice bot on the Waiting List and we'll see how things go... LOVE IT when things are _upfront_ and _clear_.

This _and_ other things, makes CTTD a very worthwhile off-season event...
