Rumor has it, we might be coming back to the Palmetto Regional :D

Would be our first time at a week 1 event.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

For those teams that compete in FTC, I would like to point out that the planning committee at SC State University scheduled the FTC competition on the same day as the FRC competition.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

It's just tentative, but the plan is for 1648 to make our way to Palmetto for week 1. Ought to be good.

Well, looks like we were able to grab a spot in the scramble for 2nd events.

Additionally, just noticed that 1398 is back. Hopefully they return the same way they went out.

587 is going to Palmetto this year. We managed to grab a slot in the two minutes before it filled up.

I didn't see 2059 or 2640 on the list so a repeat of SCRIW II can't happen.

This is going to be fun.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

1772 is Back!!

the Brazilian/South Carolina team is happy to see old friends!

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Hey....

Anyone know what happened to 343 or did they morf into team 4452?

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

According to their website they're still around (or were a few weeks ago). Looks like some overlap in territory between the 2 teams though.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

There was a lot of disruption of the Spark team (2751) over the off season. I think 4452 is an outgrowth of that.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Don't call it a comeback; they've been here for years.

I don't know what's going on with 343; I can only hope they're stuck on the Peachtree waitlist since it filled up during initial event registration. With the Myrtle Beach move, that's almost more their "home" regional than Palmetto is.

Without going into gory details, I've heard similar tales about 2751 and it seems likely they'll be inactive this year. 4452 does contain some ex-2751 people, though apparently not enough to prevent them from claiming rookie status. And they had their act together enough to attend SCRIW and reach alliance captain (and pick us after picking 1398), so there's that.

Also, for those of you that don't know, 88 (TJ^2 from Bridgewater, Massachusetts) registered today for Palmetto. I remember them fondly from when 1618 went to Chesapeake in 2008, but: Buy ear plugs. Lots of them.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

I hope 343 gets in...but i don't even think they are registered in TIMS....Same thing with 388 here in Va. Well we had to sit out a year,(2009) but came back.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

If a team is only on waitlists, they don't show on the site publicly.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Ah, I thought they took a hiatus. Well, this ought to be excellent. I heard there are some more good teams waiting for a couple more spots.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

I have heard at least one team number lower than 88 is on the waitlist. No word on what true capacity is in the new venue, though.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Looks like they have made it into Palmetto.
