Permission from the school, organizing travel, and rearranging my work schedule are all much more difficult to deal with than FIRST is in that regard. Whew!

Congrats on Winning EI,
We were in DC also this year, we made it to the Finals and ended up getting diagnosed with CRio Failure, we have a backup; we are ready fro another regional event were just working on getting the entry fee arranged. Our team account is pretty low, around $1,000. The traveling cost's can be covered by each kid, and end's up being around 300$ per person, which isn't bad at all.
Thanks,
