No time to eat lunch and I have events straight from 10:45 to 3:30 FeelsBadMan

Prepare a lunch and carry it with you, eat it between your two closest events. That's what I did at MIT; I ate between my last two events because the rooms were just down the hall and one floor distant.

I'm sorry, but at what time does your school start A Lunch? Just eating lunch before 10:45 doesn't seem that outrageous...

What's the best way to transport builds to nationals from far away? usually we ship our stuff, but we need to ship like 35 lbs of counterweights for Robot Arm which is not fun for our wallets... also Towers/Helicopters are bad to ship, but last year TSA officials got rough and made our Wright Stuff break. We're considering a bus but the drive is like 12 hours :/ thoughts?

Sometimes we have a coach rent a van and then drive all of our stuff to nationals

Bite the bullet and take the bus. 12 hours is honestly not that bad, and it's the cheapest (I think?) and least dangerous way to transport your stuff

Yeah I'd also recommend the bus. 12 hours isn't much of a trip, especially compared to how far many teams regularly drive (the trip to Nebraska was 15 hours plus ~3 more for stops along the way).

If you have the funds (which, considering you normally fly you probably should) get a fancier bus with air conditioning, ac outlets, wifi, bathroom, etc. Makes long bus rides much easier on the team.
