Giving only one and recycling is unacceptable for several reasons-

1. if you intend to develop new teams by lending them old robots that totally shoots that idea in the foot. If you intend to use robots for public relations purposes it also ruins that idea.

2. if the "kit" will cost the same from year to year but you don't get a processor with each one then why not register as a new team and get a rookie kit? Why should the "veteran" teams be denied if they are paying the same price as new rookies.

True- recycling the thing is a neat idea but old robots have lots of good uses and ripping their brains out is simply a brainless idea.

130 lb paperweights- I don't think so.
