Re: Which Regionals/Districts?
 
The crystal ball is becoming less cloudy, but still much to discuss and decide.

One scenario heavily discussed today was:

Week 2: New York City

Week 4: Queen City

Week 6: Crossroads

with Finger Lakes as a possible alternate to New York if the costs of staying in the area are too high. Where can we stay in Manhattan for less than $100 a night? Haha.

With the latest dates released we are going to try and make it to:
Week 4: Phoenix Regional
and hopefully:
Week 6: Silicon Valley Regional

2168 has discussed two basic options at this time; either GSR and CT, or WPI and CT. We are looking to save some money and stay close to home this year. Personally I will do some volunteering again at Boston, and maybe another NE Regional.

With the district model being discussed heavily in New England, I strongly encourage teams from outside the area to make the trip up here this year if they have never had the chance.

I will echo this sentiment.


For the NUTRONs, we're looking at this schedule:

Week 2: San Diego or Oralndo

Week 4: Boston

Week 6: Pine Tree

Although I know you are kidding, getting from the NJ side into the NYC regional is not incredibly difficult - I know it's hard for a larger group but the NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor runs from Trenton > Princeton Junction > New Brunswick > Newark > NYC... If you could find a hotel along the NECorridor line, you could probably stay somewhere for cheap and get some train passes. This also applies to staying somewhere outside of Manhattan and using the Subway (maybe- I'm not as familiar with that system)

Actually I wasn't kidding. The one time I went to NYC I stayed outside the Newark Airport (I saw a constant steady stream of planes landing til I fell asleep) and I took the train in (I was shocked how fast trains that didn't stop at the platform zoomed past the platform AT THE PLATFORM). If you're gonna go to NYC unless you got some super crazy deal I would suggest going that route.

Okay maybe not. There is a different proposal on the table among the mentors I just heard of, so we'll see how it turns out.

Let me ask one question. With bag and tag now, is there any real problem in doing two regionals in consecutive weeks? I'm thinking not. Opinions?

Re: Which Regionals/Districts?
 
We're thinking of the following schedule.
Week 1 Madera
Week 4 Sacramento
Week 6 Canada West Regional
Anyone have Any predictions on how fast these will be filling up this year?

Missing school days two weeks in a row is a problem for most students. It's been labeled a show-stopping problem by the teachers on our team.

We kiddos get burned out, 2 regigonals is enough already. Plus our teachers wouldn't like that...

Re: Which Regionals/Districts?
 
So the Bayou Regional is our home and this year is week 4. Our spring break happens to fall on week 5. While it would nice to go to a regional on spring break (so us kids wouldnt miss school) no one really wants to go back-to-back regionals. That knocks out Smokey Mt and Alamo, leading us to favor Lone Star.
