Sorry, dude. Only the 3 Regional Champions, as well as the winners of the Regional Chairman's, Quality, Control, Creativity, and Technology awards will get you to Nationals. Anything else only counts towards giving you points towards next year's qualification.

Well, uh.. ask your sponsor about funding next year's trip.

Well, I won't be so sure about that. The regional champions and technical awards will get teams qualifying for Nationals, BUT that's for teams who aren't qualified already.

Since they are a even number team, they are automatically qualifyed to register.... doesn't necessary mean they will get in, but they do have a chance.

Now, I guess it is kinda late for teams to register for Nats, but before regionals started, I believe there were some space left (I think). If that's the case, and since odd number teams who aren't qualified before regional are starting to win enough awards/regional and FIRST are adding those teams into Nats, I think it should be ok for them to ask.

They would've gone if they had the money in the first place... Just that now their sponsor is nice enough to give them money because they won an award.

I do kinda think they deserve to go since they managed to convince their sponsors to change their mind about giving more money to this robotics program. but that's just me.
