In addition to more regionals, it would be very nice to stretch them out over a longer season. Having them bunched together makes it difficult to attend more then 2 and is just to much school for most kids to miss in a month. It would make things less stressful, and lets us all keep more up to date with how other teams are doing and such (and more time for FIRST to perfect the rules).
It would be great if FIRST could do that, but the problem is they cannot really move their schedule at all. First of all, the robotics season has to be during the school year since most teams are organized through team meetings at school. Second, the robotics season has to be squeezed between the new year and school finals, which can start as early as the beginning of May in some schools.

I agree it does make it hard to make up the schoolwork you miss, but I actually like having all the regionals crammed together. It prevents teams from seeing what strategy turns out to be the best and then making modifications for their robot to add when they arrive at their regional.
