And the price of one Regional potentially earns you a chance to compete at the World Championship level.
That makes a lot of sense; but I do believe that if you asked most robotics kids if they wanted 20-24 guaranteed matches w/ possibly more in eliminations and have a chance at a state championship berth(adding in 10-12 more guaranteed matches w/ possibly more in eliminations) and then possibly a world championship berth vs. 9 matches with a chance at a world championship berth, I would bet 9/10 times they would pick the 1st choice. And that 1 time would be the kid who are in their 4th year and hasn't been to the World Championship yet.
