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

To follow up on that, if your team has not read and discussed the Definitions and Rules section of the challenge document, take some time at your next meeting to read & discuss each one.  My team spent almost an entire meeting doing this, and it was time well spend.  
Your question can be answered by Definition D06 and Rule R02.

R02 – Controllers – You are allowed only one individual controller in any particular Match. 
  • It must exactly match a type shown below (Except: Special-edition color differences are okay). 
  • All other controllers must be left in the pit area for that Match. 
  • All forms of remote control or data/info exchange with Robots including Bluetooth in the competition area are illegal.

D06 – Match – A “Match” is when two teams play opposite each other on two Fields arranged back to back. 
  • Matches last 2-1/2 minutes. 
  • Your Robot Launches from Base and tries as many Missions as possible. 
  • The Field is not reset for the purpose of multiple attempts. 
  • Re-Launches are allowed during the Match, but the timer doesn’t pause
Hope this helps!

Hello there!
Great question - One robot. But multiple attachments are allowed.
Have the teams change the attachments and the program and send it back out
Hope that they are having fun learning!

Subject: [VADCFLL-L] two robots?
 
Sorry if this question has been answered before. 
Can our team take two robots to the competition? Each one of them accomplishing sub-set of missions? One robot starts, finishes its missions, comes back to the base. Then second robot starts and completes rest of the missions.

Thanks,
Atul
