We are definitely going to LA and definitely not to Nationals. How much does the registration for nationals cost anyway?:confused:

We might go to Phoenix if we can get the money, we'll just have to see how our fundraising attempts go. :sigh:

<note> If anyone wants to revive the fundraising forum go for it, please </note>

/me wants to compete in two regionals

nationals is the same as every other event : $4000
we went last year, it was the most fun i've ever had! amazing. travel expenses can be a pain as far as fundraising goes, tho :(

Your primary regional is $5000 though right to cover the kit of parts? It's good to hear that nats are so cheap, I thought they were more. Maybe 2004....

We are registered, for the 7th year, for the Mid Atlantic Regional. With our success from last year, we qualified for nationals, and will be registering.

We are also in hopes of getting a grant from NASA. That will allows us to compete in one more event. We chose the Chesapeake Regional because they hosted the MD/NASA event this fall, and I guess the adults enjoyed it.

Our team has been in existance for 5 years, and for the last 4 years of comp we have gone to two regionals, and nats. For the first two of those 4 years we attended Great lakes and Midwest. Ypsilanti and Chicago. But with the creation of the western Michigan regional 2 years ago we now go there because its closer. We have the distinct advantage of having the greatlakes regional on our backdoor, 5 minutes from the highschool, at eastern michigan university (where I go now). So we only have to really travel for west michigan and nats. While great lakes is a good regional i like Western michigan better, cuz its a little smaller. We are hopin to go there again if we can get a slot earlyenough of nov. 3. Besides we have to break our streak, we've taken away finalsit trophies 2 years in a row (both alliances were picked by us too).

More specifically, the extra $1000 for the first event is specifically to cover the cost of the control system.

Our team is hoping to go to 2 regionals and the nationals....if we can get enough funds for that second regional... both of our regionals will be in MI... but really, money is the concern. If not, we're just heading to 1 regional and Nationals.....need fundraising help...:confused:

We went to 2 regionals (NYC and Canada) last year along with Nationals. This year, we're registered for Canada and the second one, if we have funding (bah you rich college) we'll go to Maryland. And depending upon how good the robot is, we may also go to the nationals, which we didn't decide to do till 2 weeks before.

I think we will be doing 2 regionals, Mid-Atlantic and another one, id like to go somewhere on the west coast, i also dont think we are going to nats, thats kind of a bummer for me tho, i had a blast last year...:eek:

The TechnoKats will be attending 2 regionals for sure with other possibilities in mind... If your one to keep a close eye on the regional list you'll see that our 1st choice regional is now St. Louis and we are planning on attending the Midwest Regional in Chicago for our 2nd.

We, the Baxter Bomb Squad team16, are planning to go to atleast 2 regionls in which we will take the entire team. We also are planning to take a skelton team to another regional to give the drivers additional practice.

Someone want to give us the money to finish paying for the first regional? Sounds like BBS has it for us! Hopefully we'll find the money to go to VCU and Nats with a small chance of another regional. I myself may be going out to Sillicon Valley to view that regional for the fun of it...

We are going to LA Regional and signing up for Phoenix, but getting funding for anything more than LA Regional this year will be very last minute and by the skin of our teeth. Aughhhh!

Team271 is planning on going to LI, Philly and Nats
if we get a sponsorship from NASA we'll be going to Virginia too.

Last year off-season we travelled an INSANE amount of miles. This year we're trying to match that during the season then off-season top it!

Good luck with getting sponsorship from NASA if you already have the money to go to 2 regionals. There are a lot of Virginia teams that still don't have the money to pay for the first one and NASA cut way down this year...

Team 71 usually goes to 2 regionals and nats....Midwest (no longer Motorola Midwest ;( ) in Evanston and West Michigan in Grand Rapids. I hope for Disney for nats, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

We plan on attending the Buckeye Regional and National (Qualified from last years performance I think) But the only thing that will hold us back is the $$$$$$$$$$

We need lots of $$$$

Oh well... if it's meant to happen it will happen

Actually, the Baxter Bomb Squad will be going to one regional (St. Louis - driving distance) with the whole team and trying for Chicago as a second regional with only a skeleton crew going in order to reserve money for Nationals. At his point our money for Nationals doesn't exsist but we are working on it.

691 is going to LA of course and Silicon Valley Regional. They're qualified to go to Nationals, wherever it may be, but our advisor only wants to go if the team earn our way there for financial reasons of course and motivation to work harder I guess.

I just found out that my spring break correlates to when Silicon Valley Regional is so I might go up there to support my alma mater and of course I'll be at LA because its right there, though closer to USC and trojan territory, uh oh!
