They should... that must be some kind of mistake.

Yeah I wondered about that. I know nothing about 1503, but one of the leaders from 1506 has posted here a few times about being a rookie team. Although it does say on their website that some of the students are from schools that already have a team.


Edit - Must have been a mistake because they're not on the list anymore. Looks like a few other teams changed their mind and/or mistakenly registered because this morning there were 93 teams registered and now there's only 83.

1503 is a rookie team. We signed up for the finals not knowing about qualifying first back in September. We found this info out from 1114 - Simbotics our partner team when they stepped in to start mentoring us.
