The two ideas in this paragraph are greatly confusing to me.

I disagree that teams should not be able to win consecutively. Teams at the same regional as consecutive winners should have the mentality of "Be them, then beat them" not "oh no fair, let's not even try."

I agree that they should submit anyway.

Your two points seem pretty conflicting, IMHO.

Your team obviously "gets it," but I think that if you took it fully to heart, you really would see the inspirational part of competing side by side with a consecutive winner. (Disclaimer: we won NJ 05 competing against some of the toughest RCA teams in FRC at a regional with no consecutive winners in its history. Winners such as 175, 103, 25, 75, 1676)
