That great. We have recently made Robotics, as a course that is offered to our students. Currently in that class, the students are building two robots with different design concepts, with a purpose of to see which design system works the best and in what condition.

Aside from that, we have also started to think of a possible drive train to be used for the 2013 season, we call it Ramzdrive, LOL

1114 and 1075 have only missed the 2002 Canadian Regional, since they were rookies in 2003, but have been to every one since.

EDIT: Er, wait. I forgot we didn't play in 2005.

Re: Greater Toronto West Regional
 

1482 won't be able to make it out to the GTR this year, due to the time proximity to the new Western Canada regional. I'm happy that we've got a regional going over here, but I'll be sad to not go to this always great regional. We've been going to Toronto every year since 04 (though in 2011 we went to the East regional), it'll be a shame to miss some of the best Canadian teams. You guys should come out here, we could use some more veteran Canadian teams. Right now, half of the teams registered are rookie teams. We've still got 11 spots open! [this concludes the regional advertisement :p]

Re: Greater Toronto West Regional
 

GTR-West is at the top of FRC 2656's list for a second Regional. We currently don't have the funding, but the kids are working hard on it. We'd LOVE to come to Canada for this event.

[If we do get the funding, we'd like to talk to teams that cross the border about logistics. Not sure what all we need as far as passports and/or other regulations.]

Re: Greater Toronto West Regional
 

There was a recent thread made about crossing the border.

If you need anymore help you could PM me. We cross the border at least once every year for Competitions

Re: Greater Toronto West Regional
 

Thanks Aaron! We'll keep that in mind if we can rustle up the funding.

Re: Greater Toronto West Regional
 

Sure hope you make it! Hopefully it will be as good if not better than last years! With 1114 and 2056 against each other it sure was an amazing event to attend!

Re: Greater Toronto West Regional
 

rookie team 4817 is from Singapore

Re: Greater Toronto West Regional
 

Because of all this Union Strikes in Ontario many teams are not going to competitions in Ontario. So I am pretty sure many teams from Ontario are not going. This is will make this years's season not as fun and exciting as last year

Which Teams are going

Re: Greater Toronto West Regional
 

Team 1547 will be there despite the strike! :D

Re: Greater Toronto West Regional
 

As will 3756! We have attended the Waterloo regional the past two years, but are swapping to GRT West this year so that we can go with one of our rookie teams (who we are also sharing work space with due to the strikes).
I will most likely be attending Waterloo to help along our other rookie team as well, so I will get to be in on the action at both competitions!

Lost 4497, now registered for Western Canada

Re: Greater Toronto West Regional
 

Being a private school, are Trafalgar Castle's teachers even subject to the strike?

I would expect 1547 to participate even if they were, but I'm pretty sure this is a public sector battle that won't affect the private school teams (like 1547, 610, and the now defunct 2361) at all, no?

Re: Greater Toronto West Regional
 

Only 1 week until GTR West!
Team 4595 (Infinity Robotics) is very excited as this will be our very FIRST competition (see what I did there? :D)
Can't wait to meet everyone next week in Mississauga!
