Mike N., you said it takes money to get into the Nats. I disagree. You can have all the money in the world and you still won't go to the Nats, this year, if you don't qualify. Or are an odd number team.
I see that you are an odd numbered team and I understand why you are ticked off. But it seems to me that you have already given up. You are registered for two regionals. If you do well, than you can go to the Nats. You say you have been in the top 10 for the last 4 years. So what happened in all your regionals?
I heard rumors that Team 234 (Cyber Blue) didn't have enough money to go to the Nats, but they did so well in there regionals that there sponsors gave them the money to go to the Nats (at the last minute).
Our team didn't have much money either (we are still in debt) but we didn't let that stop us. We got two Rookie All-Star awards and one second place to qualify for this years competition. And we ARE an odd team number.
So stop whining, dig in and be the best you can be.

btw, it's competition, no completition
