Let teams compete to the fullest level that they are willing to commit to. Never limit what a team can do, it's not fair to those that put more effort in. It's far more inspirational to compete more then once, so let teams do it. You learn a lot more by competing multiple times. If you only want to compete in one regional a year, nobody will stop you, and if people want to compete in more than one, then don't try to stop them either. If you want it to be fair, go out, fundraise, and compete in more regionals.
Team's that earn two spots in nationals, don't take spots from anyone. If a team wins two regionals, then that's just one more team that gets off the waitlist later, so they didn't take anyone's spot.

How are you fundraising? I don't consider finding sponsorships, fundraising, but if you're selling 10k in cupcakes .. I won't argue with you.

The best legacy of this little machine is the inspiration she provided to a whole generation of future explorers who witnessed the unveiling of a planet through the eyes of a robot. - dlavery [more]
