This has a lot to do with our event choice this year. We hope this will be the first year we can go to more than our home regional, and since we didn't go to Champs last year, we're planning to use that priority to register this year. I went to Champs with my dad last year, and regional events (while still really cool) just don't compare. We have a good number of seniors this year who are pretty devoted, so we'd like to go Champs. Also, with so many graduating, this would be a good way to get younger members excited about the team and keep some members coming in. And of course we want to try to make as much of a plan of this as possible, instead of qualifying in our week 5 home regional and having to raise the money and work out the logistics in 3 weeks. Lastly, Champs is far more convenient this year: we can probably drive to St. Louis, whereas Atlanta was definitely a plane trip.

Obviously, this is contingent on raising enough cash to register for more than one event. If we can, we plan to also register for the new Lake Superior regional in Duluth (week 2), since it's close by and might get paid for by NASA.

This event schedule would somewhat ideal. We would have a week 2 away regional to right away test and compete with our new 'bot, then 3 weeks to implement changes for week 5 at home, where we might qualify, then another 4 weeks to Champs. 2 or 3 events, we'd get to Champs with a good amount of experience with our machine, and some touchups besides.
