What is fair?


If you have a team with little money and resources he will make a robot that is off the shelf. were if he breaks something he goes down and buys that part.

This team will go to one regional and maybe to the national.

If you have a team with unlimited resources that can build everything they need. They just need to build extra parts.

This team will go to many regional and then to national.

every time they go to a regional they can play with there robot and fix it and tweak it. This give that team a great advantage

so the team that is just getting by will have only 3 days before the national, were as the other could have up to 9 or more days.

I think this rule gives the underdogs a better chance of doing good.

make a robot simple and it should be easy to repair.

We are only going to one regional so this rule does not effect us too much
