If any of them decline, we continue down the list to ensure a full field of 30 at the event. It's worked out pretty well for us
I totally second this for Arizona. We've only had one Championship, last year, but it's been fantastic. It's nice to get to see teams post-championship and it serves as a good send off for senior members of a good start for drive teams with new members. We had a lot of pretty important people who were not able to make the other two regionals, but we're able to make this event.

Wirg the new AIA partnership a lot of Arizona teams are now able to hand out varsity letters for robotics. I was wondering if Minnesota also does this, and if Texas was planning on doing so.
