If my funds will allow I want to go, they compete with the insect classes there, so. If I can only afford one, I'll probably go to Motorama instead, all the smaller classes, feather included, are competing.
Motorama is a 2 day event, mostly motorsport related, at which robots are one of 7 attractions. There are 8 kinds of robots, 6 combat [150 g, 1lb, 3lb, 12lb, 30lb Sportsman and 30 lb feather] and 2 non combat.
Robogames is a 3 day event, all robots, with about 70 types of robots, 8 combat [150 g, 1lb, 3lb, 1lb autonomous, 3 lb autonomous, 60lb, 120lb and 220 lb], not including sumo, mech warfare and bot hockey. If you have two people you can bring a pair of feathers and run them as a 60 lb cluster - there is no requirement that they enter the arena joined together. Robogames does not provide CO2 - they do not use it a lot in the US. Have a look at the Robogames website for the amazing diversity of robot categories you can enter.
