To play devils advocate, if the other team were equally deserving, they would beat the 3 time winner. Being good does not mean that you should have to have less fun. What you're saying is that if you bring a robot that doesn't win to 3 regionals, that it's fine, but if you bring a robot capable of winning, you should only go to 1 competition. Does that make sense in your mind? Because to me, it doesn't compute to punish success by limiting their allowed participation... Or would you suggest that they intentionally not win? Please clarify whether you're suggesting punishing talent or encouraging match throwing for teams who excel
