Well, from one GA Team to another, in the past, I would've jumped on the chance to go to nationals. In next year's case, nationals aren't exactly in our backyard, and a trip to St. Louis would meaning coming back Saturday afternoon at the latest. Which, in this case, means a day of rest before students began the exam sessions.
But there is no doubt that the splendor of championships is beyond that of any regional, and it'll be interesting to see if FIRST does something new in St. Louis.
With this said, our school takes AP testing very seriously, so I'm wondering if our school would even let our students go to nationals on these dates...
I would recommend if you are able to, and your students/their parents have no issues, then go for it. Try and get some studying done on the bus/plane. Implement a study session in the afternoon.
