Trying to limit the dance options for kids on other teams doesn't appear to me as an appropriate direction to take.

I can best come to grips with your posts by assuming that you think all teams are made up of the same mix of students as yours, and that you have students on your team that you believe to be nonproductive members. But I'd rather not make that assumption, so I really am still unsure what your main point is.
I do have a lot of thoughts floating around in this thread, it is pretty confusing.
My assumption on the structure of a team is from seeing a few different teams and their similarities in composition.
My concern ultimately lies with these two things:
1)Mass dancing interferes with game play. Time is scheduled into the rules for anything robot related; let it be such.
2)I am afraid there is a growing population of students that have no role on teams. Whether that is the same percentage-per-team multiplied by more teams at regionals now, or just a shear increase in the team size, I believe it is happening.
