Re: How Many teams Attend 2 Regionals?
1714 goes to two events every year and always has. There are many reasons for this. For one, going to a single event is a bit more pressured and intense. You only get one shot to prove yourself. Also, going to a second event every year gives the team and robot time to improve. We in particular have had troubles doing well at our first event; at Wisconsin we missed eliminations, and in Minnesota we rapidly improved and were the first overall selection. Additionally, you get to travel with your team and meet more new people and play more matches. All in all, I couldn't see myself doing only one regional.
2791 also is doing two events this year, for similar reasons.
Back to back regionals aren't recommended, but not impossible if they're close enough.
