Re: Is competing at multiple regionals REALLY fair ?

After 6 weeks of such hard work, our team decides that two regionals are more rewarding than one. It means that our students must do extra work for us to go, but once we get there it's amazing and we get to make friends with a lot of new teams. Last year, for instance, we were the only team attending both the Chesapeake regional and the Pittsburgh regional, so we never competed with or against the same robot. Attending two regionals also spreads our image to the community. Instead of only being listed in the paper once, we are listed at least three times: once at the end of build season and once after each competition.
