Freddy,

As much as we were thrilled to qualify for Atlanta, the time table was very short (Philly was the final week) and we would have been missing too many mentors and students to make the expense and logistics worthwhile. In fact, we were at the point where we would have needed to "steal" mentors from our friends.

Rather than scramble for a set-up that treacherous at best, 1712 is opting to regroup and get robot, finances, and people in order for IRI in July.
