Go to Post Titanium is almost twice as heavy as aluminum. I can have the bragging aspect of making a bullet resistant robot, but if someone is coming into a competition and shooting my robot, I have more important things to worry about! - Andrew Blair [more]

This would level the playing field a bit for smaller teams who can't afford to travel and pay $4000 per regional in order to get more practice and time. It would also avoid the many spectator comments that "all regionals are the same." However, it is also a lot less fun to only attend one regional .
I agree, Zan, that it definitely would level the playing field for rookie teams. However, were it not for norcallers coming down to socal, we might not have gotten enough teams to have a socal regional last year. Granted, this year was much larger and it would have been better for the newer, smaller teams if they had not had to compete against some of the more experienced teams. But with a few exceptions, there were far more socal teams at the norcal regional than vice-versa.
I wonder if someday FIRST will be forced to limit teams to one regional each?
