Re: Is competing at multiple regionals REALLY fair ?
If I may, I think Josh would like more students to add their thoughts to the topic. It was how he phrased it that caused the firestorm.
There have been discussions that address the have and have-not aspects of FRC teams. There have been discussions regarding different aspects of this thread and probably a great way to search would be to use the word, fair. In those threads there has been a lot of input from students, mentors, parents, alumni. It's a nice mix to have.

Also, Josh, my typos are horrible. I use the edit button multiple times in almost every post. It's handy. Sometimes I write out my thoughts in Word first and then copy/paste into the thread. That has helped as well.
