At the Natioanls
 

There are few teams that are signed up for the Nationals from Canada.
I was wondering if there are any more teams from Canada attending?

I believe Mowat (Team 783), that has an excellent robot, is going, but I'm sure many more odd-numbered teams from Canada will too. We'll go if we can, however the likelyhood of that isn't particularly high.

Not just a money issue either..

We are going. The only question is, how many banks will we have to rob?

I counted 4 Canadian teams on the team list for Nationals the other day. I think it's awesome that Canadian teams are coming at all. But that's jut me....Yeah, I'm American...

Fundraising
 

The Kinetic Knights (781) and WARP7 (865) faced a similar situation when they won with us last year. You might want to compare 'emergency' fundraising strategies with them.

Congrats, Mackenzie!

We have our plane tickets set along with our hotel booked. We will definately be there. But now with the opening of registration and the great Regional Winners, there will hopefully be more.

Travel Arrangements
 

How will the Canadian teams be getting to the Championship? Is anybody driving like last year? :)

We'll be flying direct to Houston on Air Canada flight 688, on Wednesday, April 9th.

We would be going but the Iraq war has made things difficult.

We'll drive... if we are able to go (we are on the waiting list :))

S.W.A.T. (team 771) will be going to the championship this year, so there will be a bunch of girls wearing kilts and blue t-shirts bringing a little extra spirit to the event. After our success in the Canadian Regional, we can't wait to get back into action in Houston. We'll be flying down on the 9th (7:20 flight on Air Canada I think). I hope to see you all there!! :D

After our 24 hour bus ride to Florida last year we decided on flying. We are going to be flying out of Detroit early Wednesday morning (8:55 I think) on American Airlines I think.

We should have a Canadian party in houston, or maybe just a place for all canadian teams to chill out at the team party in Astroworld. I'm canadian myself but I currently reside in the states (NJ).

Hope to see you all in Houston in 9 days!
