(Sorry, I'm not trying to hijack this thread... should we split it off into something different?)

Two teams at one school is allowed (two entry fees are paid, two numbers are assigned, etc.). Your school could compete at two simultaneous events, but since there's only one robot per team, your team could not. According to the rules, any custom-fabricated robot part can have fabricated spares that aren't part of the robot until installed, as long as they're identical to what's on the "real" robot. And if you ship spares in the crate, there's no weight limit.
