Teams that compete more will either have to spend more time fixing their robots or spend more weight building more durable parts.

I agree with you, but teams that compete more get allot more gooood practice. I think that is more of an advantage. FIRST Robotics = 50% robot + 50% driver(s). Just my opinion. I just really want the people involved to learn as much as possible, and give them as much time as possible to learn.
