Its possible UIL makes exceptions for robots, but I doubt its the case. Its probably going to end up being more strict if anything and only allow students from 1 high school, killing conglomerate teams.

But this doesn't address the issue of multiple teams from one school. I know that FRC has the conglomerate issue but FTC has the multi-team issue. I can't send multiple computer science teams to a UIL competition so why should I be able to send multiple robotics teams.
