Re: Winning Multiple Regionals

Here's my take on the subject I do not think that teams should be able to compete in two or more different regionals. From what I saw some teams, who are already are going to nationals, still compete and then win (again). I believe that there are several possible advantages to the teams that do this:

1. More practice time with the robot
2. More time to implement new ideas/code
3. More chances to win/move on to nationals

I think we should limit teams to only one regional, or if a team wins at a regional and is moving on to nationals they should not be allowed to compete in another regional. Also I believe that even if you announce that any team can attend any number of regionals that will give the more experienced/older teams a better advantage because they have time to more fully develop a strong budget to accommodate travel expenses.
