I don't think you're in CA. The CA teams have a tendency to not get a lot of school support. (Note: there are several notable exceptions.) I can think of one team that went into VEX and FLL primarily due to school issues.

On the topic of "unlimited FIX-IT windows" and eliminating ship date, the ship date elimination has already been discussed here. Unlimited FIX-ITs are too close to eliminating the ship date for me; I'll stick with what I said in the referenced thread.
