The same way FIRST has done it in the past for Bag and Tag events... teams traveling long distances can apply to FIRST for an exemption from Bag and Tag and ship their robot to/from events still. This still saves enormous amounts of money, as a very large percentage of teams can transport the robot on their own. In fact, I don't think there was a single shipped robot to any of the MN regionals last year. That saves FIRST shipping costs for 150+ robots right there. I can't speak for the other regionals, but I imagine something like 90%+ of teams transported the robot themselves last year.
