Ok, I'm going to yet again try to keep this solutions oriented. What types of limits would you like to see (if any other than a 1 regional limit)?
Also so that I add something to the thread, I'm going to share a little anecdote about teams attending multiple regionals. My team attended the MN regional last weekend. There were a number of teams there that had already competed (including 1 that had won and 3 that came close). One such team was Team 93, N.E.W Apple Corps. All weekend their pit was practically empty. There was always a person or two inside to give you a part if you asked (I often wonder if their tool chest is magic). Where were all their students you might ask? They were in other pits working on other robots for practically the entire weekend. I noticed similar behavior from most of the other veteran teams that had already competed. These "powerhouse" teams have much to share and limiting the number of regionals they can attend also limits the number of people they can help and I think that does limit development and growth.
