Iowa Regional!!
 

The Iowa Regional is happening March 23-26 2016 (the weekend after the FTC North Super Regional!). Come up and play with some of your favorite Iowa teams like 167, 525, 648, 967, 3928, 4646, 5041, 5537, & 5576! Looks like there's gonna be 50 spots opened up and I'm sure they'll fill up pretty quickly. We are going to be having some pretty cool things going on I think :) Don't forget to pack your SHOVEL to dig your robot out of the snow bank ;)

This is going to be amazing. See us in Cedar Falls at the University of Northern Iowa. What a rush planning for this event.

The secret regional has been announced! The hype is max.

Re: Iowa Regional!!
 

Definitrly hoping to make it down, either to volunteer or just a visit on the weekend.

I know :D <3 #OMGIOWAROBOTS :P
Message me if you're looking for more help on the planning team, as I'd gladly help out where I can with pre-planning. I came up with a huge marketing activity that I think Andy is working on pursuing, which I'm looking forward to even MORE than the regional (is that even possible?!?!) :D

Here is a short video describing the layout of the venue.

I should add that the video screen you see in the dome is about 100 ft wide and 26 ft tall and is right above the pits.

Re: Iowa Regional!!
 

I really hope we can get this for our second regional:)

Re: Iowa Regional!!
 

Kinda surprised we aren't just using the uni dome for pits/field with that BIG video screen (& I would think that we'd be able to cut costs in half for just using 1 facility vs 2) but I think it will be great either way :)

Re: Iowa Regional!!
 

We think watching matches in the McLeod Center will be better than watching matches in the Dome - lots of seats with great visibility to the field. The pits should have a good view of the matches with that giant video screen in the Dome.

Re: Iowa Regional!!
 

If anyone happened to see clips from the UNI / UNC basketball game yesterday - that was the McLeod Center where we will have the field for the Iowa Regional.

Re: Iowa Regional!!
 

I have to ask, who is the McLeod Center named after?

Re: Iowa Regional!!
 

I just had to know also. Here's the story:

Maybe they have relatives in the FIRST community??

Re: Iowa Regional!!
 

Team 2512 (Duluth East Daredevils) is going to Cedar Falls this year as well.

Re: Iowa Regional!!
 

4536 will be there. It looks like it's going to be a blast with all these great teams attending.
