Re: One-Regional versus Multi-Regional teams
Personally, I think it's great for a team to attend a second regional, if it falls in line with their objectives.
Some teams have an objective that goes really heavy in leading kids to engineering as a profession, and the robot is just a part of the motions. Other teams tend to focus more on the robot, and compete to win at the game, have fun, and enjoy the experience. Is one objective a better one than the other? I don't believe so. One might not be as much in tune with FIRST's goals, but each team is their own group.
It's kinda like AFJROTC--the goal is building better citizens for America, but the methods vary widely from unit to unit. Some go heavily on academics, others do drill, others do community service. All are legit approaches.
