with no idea weather or not you will be able to do well in the regionals or if you are going to have a bot that you feel confident engough about (and not uneasy and worried-as we were with our first robot in 2000)
I think there should be a protocol set in place that allows registration for nationsls to fall in the last two-three weeks of the build phase- instead of at the beginning of the season

The registration money for Nationals (well, whatever second or third event you want to attend) is not due until February 15 (I believe that was the date). The original registration money ($5000) is due by December 15. We used the February 15 date to our advantage this year; we didn't have the money to go to nationals until about week 4 of construction or barely in time to send the check to FIRST.
