Championships for Week 6 Teams

[keehun]

Hello fellow FRC teams,

I had a question about how a team goes on to prepare themselves learning that they are qualified to go to the nationals.

My team probably won't make it that far, but it is not a bad idea, I think, to just be aware of what will happen if we pull this off this year.

I had a couple questions:

1. Do we have to let FIRST know on Saturday of the competition? (Something as vague as a thumbs up or down)

2. The money has to be in my April 10th, is this true?

3. How hard would it be to find hotel/airfare the last minute? (I guess I could ask mentors this too, but I thought a lot of you had to do this specifically for Atlanta for this competition)

4. Since it is such a short notice, would 4 students and 1 mentor suffice? (We know we can locally but we are not aware of the dynamics of the nationals competition)

I guess the first task at hand is to really work hard and win the regional, but I can't say any of that, especially as a second year team... But we can set high goals and expectations, and these are just some of the things I wanted to know about.

Thank you,
Keehun Nam
