Our organization has had both an FTC and FRC team at the championship for the last two years.

1. Have at least 1-2 mentors dedicated to FTC. Have separate tools for FTC. You need a separate FTC drive team, FTC scout, and Pit runner. The idea is to separate resources (both human and physical) so each team has clear roles and the best chance to compete well.

2. Last year 50 teams competed in each of the two divisions. In past years, there have been 4-6 qualifying matches.

3. From what I remember, there was not much downtime between matches. Make changes before you get there, pack the bot well, and you should have no problems.

4. The Inspire Award is only available to teams that won the award at a state championship and attend the championship event.

Good luck!
