I definitely think that going to two regionals is an advantage. Take our situation: If we had gone to only UTC, we would not have gone to nationals. UTC essentially served as our practice competition, at which we learned that the arm was a bad idea. Then, we went to Philly and won, and thus qualified for nationals. So, going to multiple regionals gives your team more time to work out any kinks in the robot, as well as more chances of qualifying for nationals. Furthermore, If you do make nats in one regional, a second one helps you hone your skills further
