[FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN

Ask Me Almost Anything, Frank

EDIT: I've made a Google Doc for my own purposes of keeping track of Regionals and MAR District Events, but here's the link if anyone else is interested in having a copy: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing. I plan on updating it over the next few weeks/months as more events are announced. I don't plan on adding in any other district events other than MAR.

This is interesting...

The Finger Lakes Regional look like it's moved to a Week 3 event for 2017 (from week 4 in 2016). I wonder if the Tech Valley Regional will also shift up a week as well?

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

It will most likely be Week 2. RPI and RIT have the same spring break, the week between Weeks 2-3.

In other news, yay, I have a four day spring break this year that covers both of my high school team's probable events (Mount Olive and Bridgewater).

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

I'm afraid it won't be. RPI's Spring break is the same week that FLR is currently scheduled. If TVR and FLR end up both being week 3, then they both become very different events. It would also cause more NY teams to want/need to travel, which is getting very difficult given all of the districts around us. The only events a decent distance away for 229 are the NY regionals, Montreal and Pittsburgh.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

The move may have something to do with the regional planned for the Westchester area. This doesn't help you much though.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

To be fair I don't expect there to ever be an event within an hour drive of 229. I just want more options. Having New England, MAR and now Ontario cut off from us is very annoying. Districts are great for those not cut off by them.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Is there any information about when the regional will be?

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

The moving up a week also limits the regionals for the teams who can't/don't want to compete back to back. Assuming Pittsburgh stays week 2 that eliminates Pittsburgh for those teams.

Edit: just checked out California university of PA academic calendar and their spring break is the same week as FLR. Wouldn't surprise me if FLR TVR And Pitt are all the same week.

Not that I know of.

still around if you're feeling old fashioned...

Also, this will be updating daily until things get more lively.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

NY should move to districts. Then they can be competing with NE again :)

(Not meant to start a debate here).

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

We are all well aware, especially us district-to-NY transplants. Unfortunately, it's much more easily said than done.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

I haven't heard anything either. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how all the cards fall

:deadhorse:

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Hope this does not mean eight sub-divisions of 50 teams each at each 1/2CMP.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

I saw that too.:)
Looks like we wont do Iowa or Bayou this season, or Arizona West. Hawaii is week 5 this year.
FLR is a possibility.
