Both? Sorry to be non committal, but I see both good and bad from this variance. On the positive side, you get a lot of different types of teams competing for Chairman's at the Championship. As has been stated by many wise people over the years, there's no "right" way to run an FRC team. Thus the way the system has evolved allows multiple types of teams to be rewarded. I like that. Now on the negative side, there is a lack of consistency from region to region. I can see how that would be frustrating for a submitting team who hasn't had much success within their own region.
