Being a tier #2 team, and therefore not having much of a shot at getting an open spot, I would say that my team’s chances of qualifying for the Championship Event lie in our team’s robot design next season being worthy of a judged award at Sacramento and Silicon Valley, in addition to being lucky and either being a finalist or winning one of those events. I’m pretty confident in my team’s ability to win judged awards (we’ve won Leadership in Control at SVR the past two years). The rest is up to chance. Even if we qualify, we still have the daunting task of raising $4,000 for registration, plus last minute travel costs. We’ll see how things go.

Um...as a Tier 2 team it looks right now that you have a pretty good chance of getting in now. There are 95 spots left at the CE and Tier 2 gets to register in 3 days (Nov. 5th). Our team is working hard to get there, being in Tier 1.
