My argument is that you won't need to go to multiple events to gain the same advantage. If instead you spend Saturday at a nearby school with your competition robot competing against another team, you can gain a similar advantage to a team that is at an event that week.
118 hosts small scrimmage type things from time to time and those are some of the best days we have during all of build season to learn about our robot. Only teams with practice bots can go though.
