With the team's goals, we would want to make it to the District Champs each year, which would keep our registration costs the same they are now. Fewer teams means less time between matches, and she enjoys spending that time actually working on the robot. Sure, more matches is great, but there are benefits to regionals for some teams/individuals as well.

Our pit crew really enjoyed just having to check chains and do simple systems checks during short turnaround times at a district event and they really enjoyed their two industrial design awards, but to each their own!
