I understand the process of judging, competition, etc. Mentor roles were assigned a while ago for those things. Yet I want to make sure everything on the administrative side of things also runs smoothly, at least for D.C. this weekend. I'll compile the facts of what happens and submit to NEMO afterwards. Thanks in advance!

I haven't done the team roster thing - so others can answer that one, but I know a little bit about the other stuff.
If you qualify for Atlanta at the event you can either decide on the spot that you are going and ship your robot right there or you can work with Shepard to see if they can hold your robot at the drayage warehouse. They usually can do this for a few days while you figure out if you are going to Atlanta or not.
Check out section 4.9 of the Robot Transportation manual for more details on that. Also, if you decide to go make sure to register for the event in TIMS and work with FIRST on payment for the Championship so you don't get caught in a bad situation.
And yes - bring all of your FedEx Labels with you to the event. There are NO replacements and you will end up paying for shipping if you don't have them.
Good luck!
