well...

I have to say no, simply because it won't be fair to teams going to a regional far away.

There are teams from Alaska or Hawaii who have to travel by air to regionals they want to attend... And they are not the only ones. Teams like them will never be able to take the robot with them when they return to their home.

Where as teams with multiple regional competitions within driving distance can take full advantage if FIRST allow them to take home the robot.

So, should FIRST be fair to all teams, or should they be fair to some of the teams? I really don't know. Obviously this would work out if every team go to regional within a reasonable driving distance, but that's not going to happen for a while.
