They aren't the only team that doesn't submit at their "home" regional - the CA winners at KC were a Houston team - from the Galena Park district - 1429, another very worthy choice, at least from what I know their program.

Kris,
Good question. Our answer is that it was purely a matter of logistics. Last year we ventured out to attend multiple regionals for our first time. Our 1st one was at the Bayou, so we presented there. This year our 1st regional was in Kansas City, so we presented there. This left the second regional for us to focus mainly on the robot competition. We feel that by doing this, not only does it give our presentors a more diverse environment, but also allows us to concentrate on both parts of the competition a different times.

Since you have to undo all the connections anyway in order to swap them, you might as well take advantage of the opportunity to do some simple and straightforward troubleshooting. - Alan Anderson [more]
