think the problem of teams doing events week after week after week is missing so much school as much as it is financially difficult. Plus the robot will eventually break down from so much action.

I did 14 last year, missed 3 of the ones I normally volunteer for due to being out of the country for 2.5 months of the year.

I expect to hit closer to 18 this year, with 6 weeks in a row of FRC events helping to establish a strong pace. :ahh:

I'll still end up behind Ed somehow though ;)

If a team were to pack up everything and get on a plane saturday night, they might just make it in time to compete at Israel the next day.

Combine that with state championships and the World Championship and that could be 9 official FRC events in 1 season.;)

I thought there would be 5 or more non-FRC events in there. Padding numbers using FLL is the only way I'd get that high. I'm thoroughly impressed with your total!

Re: 6 Regional Season?

With the number of offseason events,

I think all FRC teams should at least do 4 Events.

2 Regional/District Events
2 Offseason FRC events

1 Event per season is not suitable to be competitive in FRC anymore.

Wow, you make it sound so easy!

I almost ended up @ Las Vegas a couple of years ago but no one responded to my inquiries about my assignment so I switched out for Queen City.

Granite State/Israel

WPI
Southington
Northeastern
Pine Tree
NECMP
CMP
For a grand total of 10 official events in one FRC season.
I believe there's also a weekend in MAR like that (but I'm not sure)
If you start counting off-seasons it looks like one could feasibly add another 19 events to their schedule (according to TBA's data from last years off-season events) Plus a week zero event!

In theory, one could do 30 competitions in one year. Clearly Ed and Andrew are slacking off!

There are some events that I have written off.
I would like to do an actual week zero one day.

Granite State
Groton
Rhode Island
Northeastern
Pine Tree
NECMP
CMP

We'll see about hitting the off season circuit. I'll, obviously, be at Beantown. Might hit Battlecry and a few others depending on what 125 is doing. I'm ok taking second place to Ed though.

I don't know how you guys are doing it and still alive. I was still recovering from San Antonio when we were in Richmond.
