High cost of the robot, high cost of the entry for the event, transportation, food and only getting 5 plays seems like pretty bad value proposition.
The second sentence applies to any robot program. Roboteers work hard on the robot, there are costs it seems a shame to only get 5 matches. Depending on the number of teams, 5 matches does not give a good base for rankings.

I'm a fan of all robot programs, just wished there were more roboteers in them.
