However the judges opted to do wildcard selection after other awards had been given out and 1710 ended up with two wildcards due to their Chairman's win. We won EI and so the first wildcard went to SWAT 1806 and the second went to 1777 Viking Robotics. Very grateful the judges made this call and allowed 1777 to attend World Champs for the first time.

That wasn't the judges decisions, that was the new Wildcard policy detailed this year in a blog post and in the manual.

The coolest part is that all 6 teams in the finals would have made it to champs even if we 1730 had won.
