I don't think that this would be a great idea. Half the fun of the regionals is meeting people from- everywhere. If regionals were closer to where you were, and smaller, yea the competition would still be there but the chance to meet new people from other areas would start to dissapear. Yes, FIRST can be costly but that is also what fundraising is for. Maybe someday, if everyother school has a FIRST team this could be possible, but for how things are right now I think that it just wouldn't be logical.
Off season competitions provide the smaller, lower budget options to teams, and can be just as competitive. (though not official- but does it really MATTER if they are an offical regional or not?)
