Burnout is my concern (as someone who has spent more time since the season started working on robots than at work). OCD? Nah.... That said, the 2 day competitions are easier to handle than the regionals due to the reduced time off from work. Also, it tends to be cheaper for us since we only put the team in hotels for one night per qualifier. We also love the extra matches we get to play.

Side note, the extra matches at the regionals are really hard on our robot and we are iterating designs for durability (and reparability). 56 matches and counting at three events...
