As long as there are open slots, I am all for it. This helps pay for the event and will add another team to the roster. I warn any 3rd event team to think critically about it. If all goes well, this means your team will be doing 3 districts, 1 state Championship, and the Championship. This is a lot of travel and stress on a team. We have done 4 total events (3 reg and chmp) for a couple of years and it is really tough on a team. It can also be very stressful on your robot. You would feel pretty silly doing a 3rd district only to wear out your bot for the State Championship.

I do think though that if a team wins their first 2 district events that the class act thing to do would be to step out of the finals at their third event. That is just my opinion, and I completely understand the alternate view. I would just not do it.
