I am a student on my team so I can't give you much advice regarding hotels, chaperone to student ratio etc but I would say, Remember to bring as many replacement parts as possible for your robot. Also bring all tools you can, you may not be able to depend on other teams for support (depending on what tool you may need). Bring food along for the trip it's always nice to have something to snack on, it's especially nice for me when we drive across Missouri from St. Louis to Kansas City for the Cowtown Throwdown. (make sure to bring extra batteries) There is a thread that gives a bunch of advice on this If i can find it i'll give you the link.
