5817 gets Rookie All Star
8 gets a wild card via 254 winning the regional and being a hall of fame team
5677 gets a wild card via 1671 winning engineering inspiration and being last years world champion
I love the wild card system so much for this very reason, but I am curious about why 8 was unable to play in elims.

Ah, missed your question. Team 8 was very bummed out about about missing the chance to play in eliminations. Unfortunately we had an issue with a fault because of an internal short in our RoboRio (not even the inspectors and control system advisors were sure exactly what was going on to the point where they were going to let it slide). We weren't able to replace our rio in time and so we switched out with 5677.
That said, we are very appreciative of how well our alliance played during eliminations and the fact we are going to St. Louis because of it! Best of luck to 1323, 5817, and 5677!
