What is one of the rules regarding robot usage in competitions?

The rule stating that only one ROBOT must be entered by each team is grounded in the principle of fair competition. This ensures that each team competes on an equal playing field, as it prevents any single team from having multiple entries that could potentially dominate the competition. By limiting each team to one robot, it fosters a more strategic approach where teams must focus their resources and creativity on a single design. This rule encourages innovation and allows for a more diverse range of robots to compete, showcasing the skills of different teams rather than the advantages of quantity.

In contrast, teams modifying their robots freely at any time could lead to inconsistencies in competition performance and logistics, while entering multiple robots or not needing registration might undermine the organizational structure of the event and fairness among participants.
