I think your missing the point of competing. It is not to win and going to the Championship. It is not just about winning. It is about enjoying all the time and effort you put into your robot and your team. Yeah, winning is nice (not that I would know...yet) but I think if your main goal is to win and advanced to the Championship, you will be dissatisfied more often than not. Those teams that have put in the extra effort to fundraise to attend 2x regionals, should have the right to enjoy all their hard work.
