I know, even with acute desire and laser-like goals, we may never rise to the level of 148, 118, and 1477... but, our quest to get there SHOULD NOT be subordinated to someone else's "vision" of prioritizing our finite capacity/resources to elevating generic teams just for the sake of elevating generic teams...

I agree with your sentiment and would be upset in a similar situation, but I think you've made your point clear, and Jess has made hers clear, and you made yours clear again, and she made hers clear again... so on.
Look for other events to attend that will allow multiple robots, and/or be content with a single robot for this event (or choose to not attend). We don't go to Calgames for that reasons as there are several other California events more reasonable priced that allow multiple entries.
In my opinion, the hardest part of the competition is not that actual manufacture of the robot, but the design process. It is the enginners that go through the design process all the time that will have the edge in this competition, not the best machinist. - Wetzel [more]
