If the robot does not go, our students will have the opportunity to help other teams (cheer, scout, etc.), volunteer (FRC & FLL), and attend the conference.

With all that said, hopefully the packages will be available to any teams that wish to attend and not just those who have qualified. Message to FIRST: PLEASE open the packages to any teams that wish to attend even if they have not qualified for the Championships. It's a win/win for everyone. Of course, we could always "cooperate" with another qualified team to book our packages.

Just some thoughts,
Lucien

Sounds good Lucien but how do I explain to my school administration that our team is travelling so far and taking off school time just to watch. My superintendant is most interested in seeing a trophy and nothing more. The neanderthal sports like attitude is really offensive at times but his office approves the travel.

You and I know that being at the Nats is special, but I think there would be something missing if you just sit there and can't be a part of the competition.
If that was the case you could stay home and watch the telecast in comfort.
