Also, a team who's robot can already smash half of a regional to pieces getting extra to work at the regional the week before just kills the entire build season.
Ideally you'd have every single regional during the same week. That just can't happen logistically though. I think that if a team is capable of going to multiple regionals, they should be able to. Priority should be (and is) given to teams who go to 1 or 2.
