Re: To go to Championships...or not....

I haven't really seen this discussed yet in this thread, but in my opinion High School and especially extracurriculars are not only about the knowledge that you gain, but the memories and experiences that you have the opportunity to have. The Championship event is always a memorable one. You get to meet (most) all the people you read about here, see old friends, and see some of the best matches of the regular competition season. But moreso for this next year the championship event is sure to be even better than ever! It's the 20th Anniversary of FIRST and will also be host in a new city that seems to be very excited about this new partnership.

Obviously you need to take into account the academic effects and stresses it would cause, but I think you should also look at the positives of attending.
