Special invitations to Championships from FIRST HQ?

My logical thought process would be that 1) they haven't been to worlds so they are a tier one team on the waitlist, and 2) their mentor was hitting the buttons in tims at 12 noon on the first day of open registration. OPR had nothing to do with it.

As the team's lead mentor I'll take the credit for getting us signed up online for the waiting list in the first few seconds back on October 25/12 when wait list registration opened. I knew it was a long shot but figured it couldn't hurt.

We didn't win a Regional or Chairman's or an Engineering Inspiration Award. We take our hats off to those teams who did. MakeShift were lucky and got in based strictly on our position on the wait list.
