You have to balance that against need for teams to attend to wear and tear (or more serious damage) from competing at a regional.

I say they open this rule up. All team can work on parts to their robot. starting from the first regional.
So then all you've done is tipped the scales in favor of teams that DON'T go to multiple regionals. If this were the case, what would stop a team from only signing up for the Championship (no regionals) and then getting a full 3 weeks extra to work on their robots! Since they're not competing, there's no chance that they would have to use that time to repair damage. I think that is the main reason they made this rule in the first place.

BTW, these same rules existed last year. They are not new.
