Re: Should teams be allowed to attend multiple regionals?
As a rookie team,
we attended three (3) regionals
Did it cost a lot of money? YES
Could we "afford" it? OBVIOUSLY, we did.
Could the same funds have been otherwise spent? MAYBE
Will we spend the funds in the same manner next year? MAYBE
Each team should be empowered to spend their funds just like a real corporation does to earn the maximum RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT.
I will tell you that going to all three regionals for a rookie team has had a HUGE value on each one of us in many ways more than just additional practice with the robot itself.
But, not to brag.....
Finger Lakes Regional....."Rookie All-Star" Award
Buckeye Regional.........."Highest Seeded Rookie" Award
Toronto Regional..........."Rookie Spirit" Award, "Rookie Inspiration" Award and #1 winning alliance.
