I think all teams should keep their robot and bring or ship to the event as required. this allows the teams that cannot go to multiple events the time to practice and refine their machine. Think of the quality/competitive machines there would be. Afterall in Industry don't they keep improving a product once it is released? They don't just say live with your mistakes.

I agree with this. A team can never have enough driving practice, and there is always another feature to add, or part to fix on the robot. If all teams were allowed to keep their robots after the first event, I think everyone would be happy. The events are only 7 days apart... *shrug*

Then, there are those teams that try to build a robot the day before the competiton, or put the "robot" in the crate, and build a whole new one which is assembled in the pit. Blech... these people upset me.
