FIRST can only go far to gaurantee a fairness to all teams. if i think about it, many other teams get a lot more than other (us an example) and still we just try to manage.
if your team chooses to go to a competitive regional, one with plenty teams, then your team chose to slug it out with the champions, the veterans, the top performers. otherwise, if you want more practice and perhaps be the better bot from the rest, maybe a rookie regional is for you?
also, teams who pay more get more practice

.....is this fair? or does money buy everything...? ahh, a whole philosophy is unfolding.
rules and laws always protect us, but can also sometimes be limiting. there are times people use it to their advantage. but no matter what we do, the law is there and sometimes we cant change it to fit our needs.
