Re: Participation requirements for off-season events
An interesting question to ask, if the person who asked the original question didn't hint at already, is what's stopping all these other high school students, adults, engineers, hobby groups to watch the game during kickoff, spend about 1000-1500 for an IFI controller, spend 6 months designing a robot (at their own pace), look up one of the off-season events, and pay a few hundred dollars to play the game?
All they have to do is follow the robot and game rules, which might not even apply for some off-seasons, and save all the money spent on registration fee and kit of parts.
Sounds like a pretty good deal to me! If there are several off-season in the region, they might even make it to a few events.
