Being a part of team ULTIMATE 922, we are self sustained and have absolutely no corporate sponsors or engineers helping us. We struggle in creating a really good robot. Luckily for us, we are extremely strong in our marketing aspects that teams coming to our regional in addition to theirs has not effected us. regardless, we have been able to win some of the most prestigious awards. And ultimately if your as good as you believe, than other teams coming to your regional shouldent be a problem. Besides who doesnt like a little extra competition?

Although I do agree with a few teams on how you should only be able to win at one regional instead of winning multiple awards at many. If anything, allow teams to continue competing at other regionals but make as the chairman's award submission is. You in a way can only "submit" or in this case be eligible to receive an award at the regional you "submitted" at.
