Re: Do you think we have enough time?
I know exactly how that feels. We were short on money this year as well and as a result we could only afford to go to one regional, but after we won FLR, we got more funding can are now sign up for another regional.

Acepilot, I would have everyone on your team get together and formulate a plan on asking EVERY local business fo funding. A Plan is something like, send letter to company, follow up with phone call and meet with company, or something to that affect. Make your situation sound as dire as possible. Tell them of all the wonderful things that FIRST stands for and what your team will do for the community by competing in another regional. Businesses want to hear these things, because they want to know that their money is well place when they give it to you.

Best of luck and I hope you guys get the funds to go!
