I agree Andy. We certainly need to keep cool heads about this and show our Gratious Professionalism. There is a reason why FIRST has chosen to take this route and I trust them with their decisions.
I know the worst thing about is the travel arrangement situation for teams. It's not as tough as a decision that we had to make before. At the beginning of the '01 season we had not planned on attending the nats, but after we had placed very well at KSC and then won the Midwest Regional we decided to attend the event. In as little as 2 weeks we had paid an entry fee, booked 20 flights and hotel rooms. Part of it was that we had a gratious sponsor that was willing to make it happen. But all in all, I know that it can be done, without too many headaches.
Lets just be cool and trust thier decisions
