Okay.. we (Team 326) have been doing 2 reginoals for about 5 years now. One reason is that we travel abit outside of the main competetion.. which alot of the teams around us are very good.. We always compete at the home event (Great Lakes) what yyou can consider as one of the harder reginoals to win each year. The expirence is great to do other things.

This year we traveled out to Pittsburgh for the first time and really enjoyed the venue and the atomsphere around us.

It is worth the extra money if you really want to see how your robot appears to 60- 70 different robots like you will see at atlanta and you have an extra 10 or 12 competeion matches to work out bugs that you wouldn't catch until you got to atlanta which can hurt alot of teams.

The way our team deterimnes who goes is all who fundraises enoguh money to go to the event. We have a set amount of money needed to go and if you get close enoguh we let you come. When we went to Pittsburgh about 200 miles from home we had all but 3 members go.. so just under 25 people.

We really only like to have them one week apart so like week 3 than week 5.. it keeps the team memebers freah after the long weekends endurance test.

Pretty much 2 regionals and the championship... our robot has always gotten better at atlanta then it was at our first event.

Anyother questions PM me or take other peoples imput which can be better than mine..

Off topic but Team 555 are doing 4 regionals and the championship
