Norm,
Your idea sound interesting if we can make the championships but we won't know until a week before. We are a rookie team and our first competition is the Lone Star Regional.
Our team is from Paola, Kansas which is south of KC by 45 minutes and only 30 minutes to I-35. We are currently taking a bus to the regional but have made no arrangements if we make the championships and would greatly be interested in such a plan.
Our team consist of 11 students and 9 mentors. At least 1 student would be unable to go (prom weekend) and I doubt only half the mentors would. Several parents might go but I imagine it would be easy to limit it under 30 or less (maybe less than 20-25). Our budget is limited but several people would be interested, including me, in going.
Wish us luck at the lone star regional. If we do well enough I might try to contact you afterwards and work out arrangement if not already too late. I cannot gurantee us going to championships so continue to search for arrangements. If we can go, we will always find other arrangements.
I know the time frame in which we will know and need to leave for championships is small so don't worry if you find another team. I can tell you are determined and will find a way to go and have fun. Good Luck.
PS I can not speak completely for my team but my knowledge of my team allows me to post. I don't know where in Iowa you are from but I posted assuming you would travel on I-35 and my teams proximity to it(we could easily join the bus the bus right off of I-35 at Ottawa, KS). I also understand the urgency of your message and apoligize for not being able to give you a sure answer. I like my robot, I like my team, but I don't know if that will get us to Houston
