Team 359 is the only team attending that needs an exemption.
FIRST denies your exemption and encourages you to attend another event that has more exempt teams pending.
Team 359 already booked airlines, hotels, etc. because its much cheaper to plan ahead.
Team 359's other regionals may be in jeopardy because of suggested change.

This might be a silly way of looking at it, but if you have already signed up for the regional, and there aren't any regionals that have spots left and a shipping presence, I think they would work with you from there, wouldn't they? Also, leaving the reigning CCA out in the cold like that would cause a big stink.
In addition to that, I think you could find a way to ship the robot to a local team, and pick it up on Wednesday night.
I really hope that doesn't happen to you and everything works out.
