I feel that this year is going to have a learning curve. I still don't understand the reasoning for bagging our robots for a, 1 day off-season event. I understand that its the "State Championships" but its still an off-season event.
Since they put 1492 on the official list, I think the AIA looked beyond the school associations and invited all of the Arizona teams that deserved to go, in order (and in your case, omission might have been fatal to the state organization). As something of a sponsor of Caution! (Microchip stockholder), I am really pleased that you're lined up for Prescott.

As for the bag & tag ritual, it seems like a reasonable thing to me. Try to damp out the full scale redesigns based on Champs observations, play with (mostly) what you brung to the regional. But then, we have two robots to play with

We're still looking for enough School support to go I hope we make it.
