The logistics of having an off-season that plays a previous year's game is difficult.

Perhaps in the future there could be a "summer project" offseason Where teams would be notified well in advance of an offseason playing a previous year's game so that way if they want to participate they can drag out their old bot from storage or perhaps make a new one in the mean time. It may be a great learning exercise to get new students geared up for the build season (no pun intended :-p)

But thats a whole 'nother thread for a different time.
