It will be worth it if you pull off the Palmetto three-peat! I don't think that has ever happened.

Nope! Only two teams have won Palmetto back-to-back: 2815 (2011-2012) and 3824 (2014-2015). Only one team has won it three times (11 in 2004, 2006, and 2013).

We've had FIRST staff attend Palmetto in the past; I distinctly remember Kate Pilotte was our FTA in 2013. We had a difficulty with our inspector over recommended vs. required (probably the main breaker labeling), I'd emailed Team Support Thursday night, and she caught me by the field the next day. We also had then-president Paul Gudonis attend in 2010, and Woodie came in 2014. I'm sure there have been others too.
