Ya know...a TEXplosive Dancing Leopard alliance for the win would be epic

I know 1429, 2468 and our team have already qualified...does anyone know if there are other teams that have qualified this season and could potentially create a wildcard slot at Alamo?

So far, those are the only 3 teams that have qualified. 1477, 624 and 1987 all have one event before Alamo and could create some more.

It's a shame that 148, 16, 118 and 245 are not participating this year.

I was under the impression only competition-merit based awards dropped down to wildcard. So only event winners would pass down, not chairmans/EI.RAS/etc?

Nope. Only previously qualified winners at your current regional can create wild cards, but all that matters is that they qualified at a previous 2013 regional. Here, look at this handy Wildcard Worksheet.

And yes, I'm assuming/hoping 1477 and 624 will do well enough to be potential wildcard creators at Alamo.

I guess we proved you wrong, Kevin.

On a curious side note, other than 2158 who else is competing for the Chairman's award at Alamo?

I know for a fact that 3999 is submitting. Will 624 be submitting?

Yes! Unfortunately due to student leadership conflicts, 624 chose to present their chairman's submission at Alamo instead of Lone Star this year. Now the surprise is ruined

[2789_B_Garcia]

2789 is also submitting at Alamo, Good Luck to everyone going for the award!

As an aside, Team Appreciate won the award at Hub City, and I for one am glad they submitted there, their video was awesome & inspiring!

[Kevin Sevcik]

I'm nearly certain that 57 is competing in Chairman's at Alamo.

Also darn the luck on 624 and 1477 not qualifying. I was hoping for a longer list of wildcard teams at Alamo, but alas. Guess we'll have to do it the hard way.

Side note: Thanks to an exciting work emergency, I'm flying straight from Brazil to San Antonio compete with you people, so you'd better put on a good show. Or take it easy on the guy that just got off a red-eye. Whichever you prefer.

[Jorge Ayala]

Team 3478 is also competing for Chairman's at Alamo. Good luck, teams.

[Pjohn1959]

FIRST team 4400, Cerbotics will be presenting as well.

801 and 1592 are on their way to San Antonio.

I hope you guys have a safer trip to San Antonio than Orlando.
