Through the current district system a team in Indiana can register for 3 districts and their DCMP=4 events for $10000 and get 120 pounds of withholding and 24 hours of unbag time after "STOP BUILD DAY". Someone needs to call up 234 or 1024 or 5188 to scrap their whole machine now and start copying Arsenal because the opportunity already exists.
Why stop at just 4 events? Barring schooling issues, you could go to all three Indiana events, an out of state district, and the state tournament. If you bag all your withholding allowance for each event, you could theoretically have enough configurations of your robot by champs to overcome just about any challenge your opponent throws at you.
