Synopsis:
If you don't have a "good" robot, you can go to more than one regional.
If you have a "good" robot, you can only go to one regional.
You call this "fair"?
I'm from a team that goes to three regionals every year, yet has never won a single one. If we happened to make a 1114 status dominant robot with a lot of hard work and a lot of luck, and we win our first regional, then we forfeit our right to play in the other two regionals? Or since we didn't have a "history of dominance" we can still compete in the other two regionals?
Honestly, If I had a robot I loved to watched compete, and I knew if I won the first regional, I wouldn't be allowed to compete with it again at the other regionals, I wouldn't try to win. I'd probably make it to the finals and then give up, because I know I could win, but playing again will be a lot more fun than getting a little trophy and ending our season early.
