So to be very technical (and hopefully not complicate this discussion), you
are allowed to bring multiple robots to the *competition*. According to the
rules, you are limited to a certain number of controllers (1) and motors
(up to 4) at any one match.

To comply with the rules, you can either:

   1. Only bring one robot to the competition or
   2. Bring more than one robot to the competition, but only bring one
   robot to each match (All other controllers must be left in the pit area for
   that Match)

Based on the original email in this thread, I believe that Atul meant to
ask if the teams can bring multiple robots to a match.

I'd like to second Frank's recommendation. Teams that read the rules,
missions, field setup and all updates perform better and have more fun.

Have fun!
Bill
