Like I said previously, I gladly welcome teams from outside the area. I just feel that it is unfair for a team to have to travel for eight hours a day when there is a regional right in their own backyard. Teams such as ours expect to attend our local regional and develop our budget accordingly. We usually raise just enough money to participate in our local regional. If we had to travel we would not be able to participate in FIRST at all.
