I think we are really pushing it to even consider going this year, but several people on our team were asking, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to pose the question.
About getting on the wait list, contact FIRST and see if you can get on the wait list still.

You are considered a veteran team and just in case you didn't know how the wait list works, it's basically a lottery drawing and you get entries equal to 2015 minus the last year you went to Worlds or your rookie year. So if you've never been to Worlds, you would have 12 entries into the lottery (2015-2003=12).
