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.
Ken, I agree. It's cool that thier sponsors are paying their ride to nats. They would have been able to register because they are an even numbered team BUT since not enough even numbered teams registered, FIRST opened up registration to everyone (based on points from last year, etc.) and now all the spots are filled. :\ Guess it wouldn't hurt to ask though!
