Really, our best hope is to go for the Chairman’s Award. Yes, we may go via winning a regional but mostly likely even if the team does go, it'd be a skeleton crew. (And I know personally I have finals starting Friday of Championships

) We're under the gun here to raise a lot of money to cover various costs as it is. Chairman’s however would boost the recognition of Northeastern's College of Engineering here in the World of FIRST. And maybe more of you HS students will come to Northeastern and do FIRST (there is a nice scholarship too...). Thus we're working towards winning it in like three years or so. We have a plan...well kind of.... we're only in phase one of its design process!
