How many teams have done back-to-back regionals?

In 2008, we did LSR and Bayou back to back, both wins. Pretty good reliable robot, not a lot of headache. We did some software tweaks on site (no withholding allowance.)
In 2009, we did Bayou and LSR back to back, Bayou win. It was harder this year, we had to change our robot between the two regionals to even keep it competitive at LSR. We were pooped, allow yourself more time to make changes (using the withholding allowance) and some rest time. Robot was 70% reliable, maybe 70% competitive.
It really depends on the regionals, the order of the regionals, the game, and how good your robot is. The withholding allowance is a love/hate thing, but use it wisely.
