Try and get your team to take advantage of everything the Championships has to offer - if there are booths there from colleges, etc., visit them. Same for the sponsors. Set some time aside to visit the pits - you'll undoubtedly be seeing teams you've never encountered before, and it takes a lot longer to do than at a regional competition! GO OUTSIDE and throw a frisbee or just relax and meet other teams. Be sure to join the Chief Delphi Group Hug (more about that will be posted as it gets closer, I'm sure). When you're team is not competing visit some of the other divisions to see what's going on there. Visit the FLL and FVC competitions when they are occuring. Be sure to be in the right division area EARLY for opening ceremonies so you can get a good view; same for the closing ceremonies. Register to attend the Conference; a lot of great sessions are offered at it. Print up some business cards with your contact info on them so you can hand them out as you make new contacts. I have loved each wrap party I've been to; a nice way to say goodbye to friends you only see once or twice a year at events.
