Are 8 play regional reasonable?

I get that it's not about the robot, I get that it sucks to go out there and lose. I get those extenuating circumstances. But holy crap, I don't think I've ever seen anyone ever try to say "well, we only had to play 8 matches".

That depends on how you measure return on investment.

I understand that you measure it only on the number of times the five people with drivers badges get to play qualifications matches.

Do you understand that other people may have different metrics?

For example, the metric I most care about is the promotion of STEM to the general community.
