If the TechnoKats ever lose their prequalified status as one of the original and sustaining teams, I'm going to suggest that we plan to attend the Championship Event anyway regardless of whether we qualify. It would be a lot less stressful, and very likely just as much fun, to show up just to browse the pits and scholarship booths, and to watch some of the best teams in the world compete. As a bonus, we'd have time to go to some of the presentations that we've never been able to see.
