I firmly believe every student in FRC should attend The Championship Event at least once in their FIRST career. It's something nobody would ever forget.

Attend...sure; compete...???

To use a sports analogy, there are plenty of athletes who have played their entire career without ever having made it to the championship for whatever league/level they are in. What makes a championship so special is that it is extremely hard to achieve.
