What should I be looking for? Please and thanks!

Double-check the Admin Manual--I think it's Section 4. I've also heard about the email.

FRC Logistics should contact your Main or Shipping contact about the robot FedEx.
You'll fill out a short web form (e.g., address of pickup, crate weight and dimensions) then a few days later they email you FedEx shipping forms.

After you receive the forms you have two business days to arrange a pickup directly through FedEx.

Thanks. We have not received the email yet but we will keep on the lookout.

Team 135 is officially qualified for Worlds now (not waitlist registered) since we won the Indiana State Chairman's award. Even without Chairman's we still would have qualified through district points.

FRC Team 4841qualified yesterday at the AZ West Regional winning the Engineering Inspiration award no longer waitlist registered. 😀See you in St.Louis

Have all of the wait list invites been sent?

Most likely yes. As of right now there are 476 teams registered for Champs with only MSC, MAR Champs, and NE Champs next week. Those 3 events will qualify 128 teams putting the total at 604 teams.

There may be one or two spots that open up if teams can't pay but I wouldn't count on it.

Couldn't some of those 128 spots could already have an invite from HOF, last years winners, teams getting tickets from regionals?

It does appear they are getting down toward the end. That seems reasonable as we are about 14 days out.

They did great with championship slot allocation this year, mostly because of the expansion. Previously, FIRST would be dishing-out waitlist invites mere days before Champs.

I do know that 216 got a wild card spot from WEGLR, which takes one of Michigan's spots away.

Yup. There are at few off the top of my head:

125 (SoFlo Chairman's)
195 (NYTV Winners)
1923 (NYTV EI)
4575 (Queen City Winners)
2590 (Montreal Winners)

Add in HoF/O&S teams that could get spots and there will probably be a few more slots opening up eventually.

2016 (South Florida EI) is the other one from MAR.

I am going to choose to keep my fingers crossed in effort to get an invite then.

We (78) got in off the waitlist. Not sure how that effects New England spots.
