2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
I know many teams are beginning to decide on where they might go for competitions next year. A lot of teams are planning their events in order to figure out budgets and I was just wondering if teams have any idea where they might be going? It might be a little early for this thread, but hey we could all use something to druel over before the next off-season event. :)
Team 1403 is going to the NJ Regional and the Championship event. We are deciding where to go for our 2nd regional. Some possibilities for our 2nd regional are Detroit, Boston, Florida or Virginia. |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Its hard to pick just yet as the dates haven't been announced.
Exploding Bacon will be at the Florida Regional ( its in our hometown) and we are thinking of either Palmetto, Drexal, Boston, or New Orleans as our 2nd regional. Or we may go back to Lone Star....we had a really good time there. We will go to the championships if we qualify, and have the money. |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Kansas City!!! Finally something close to home.
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
West Michigan is always a Martian Staple. We are aiming for a 2-4-WMR-Championship competition schedule like we have done for the past few years.
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Team 25 will definitely be at the NJ Regional, since it's our home regional.
We're most likely going to a week 3 regional, assuming that NJ is a week 1 again. I've heard some talk amongst team members about Pittsburgh as a possible second regional. And again, we're planning on making it down to Atlanta again for championships! (P.S.-Watch out for a few 25 members at Philly! ;)) |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Team 296 will probably be going to one of the New England regionals, the Greater Toronto Regional, and, I should hope, the Championship (so as to not waste the first time we ever pre-qualified on merit).
I have no clue which events I'll be going to personally - I'll be on a co-op work term during the 2007 season, so what regionals I'll go to, if any, depends on the location and nature of the job I get. |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Palmetto, no question. (Half a mile away or a thousand miles away, they don't call it the best regional in the South for nothing.) Championship would be awesome, and I hope to attend with or without the team.
I'm also hopeful that I'll be able to go down to the Florida Regional for a third year as a spectator/volunteer, but that depends on USC's spring break. |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
For sure we'll be going to the new San Diego regional. We've also talked about either making our first appearance at the LA regional or returning to Las Vegas, money being the deciding factor.
Just out of curiousity, are there any other teams that are considering coming to San Diego? |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
As of now team 1345 will be attending the Florida regional and the Championship event.

Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
I definately will be at New Orleans. I have friends in both Houston and Columbia so I may try to go to Lone Star or Palmetto too. It's still a long way off, so nothing is set in stone yet.

Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Team 294 is for sure going to LA, we hope for championships. We are considering where are second will be, and a possible third, out of; Vegas, Phoenix, San jose and San Diego.
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
FLR and the championship for the X-Cats.
We are very predictable. My personal schedule depends on my vacation time and my wife's mood about me going to FIRST events ( I would like to attend an event in week 1 and possibly GTR again). |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
It is 98.5% confirmed- NYC Regional will have 62 Team slots for 2007!!!
Hmmmm.... party anyone? :) |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
578 is aiming for 3 regionals this year as well as some extra money for the championship event if we can. Where will we go?... were still debating about it, we will go to finger lakes. But theres a chance we won't be going to boston this year.
We have talked about New York City, and the Chicago Regional I know. |

If I had the chance to go there again, I definitely would do it! :D |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Although nothing has been decided yet, it's a safe bet to say that 587 will be back at VCU. If we have the money, we'll go to the championship. If, in the unlikely event that we have the money to do it, a second regional over spring break could occur, assuming that our spring break and the event's time are the same this year, that would probably be Palmetto.
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
The CircuitRunners will be definately going to Peachtree as usual. Hopefully Sir Charles will be there again.
A couple of us seniors might go down to volunteer at the New Orleans regional. Most of us aren't having tough 2nd semesters so we will be able to hopefully do that. No idea where else we will b competeing. Maybe VCU. |

Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
1249 will be back at Palmetto. We really enjoyed last year our first at that region. As for the other regional, Pittsburgh if they have one or back to the Buckeye in Cleveland. Depending on funding, we would like to go to championships, we have a group of seniors that started this team four years ago and would like to take them back to Atlanta.

NYC had only 33 teams last year, we could sure use some more :P 395's most likely going to new york, pittsburgh, and hopefully atlanta. |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Our team will most likely be heading back to St. louis and Milwaukee. This still depends on when they are and if they interfere with our springbreak.
Is the florida regional on springbreak? I was wondering because our school band is going to florida for springbreak and was just wondering if there was any chance we could stop in and see some competition. |

Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
45 will go to the Boilermaker regional for sure, our second is a toss up still, most likely it will be in the midwest somewhere. So, Midwest, GLR, WMR, St. Louis or Cleveland. But as we did last year, we went to GTR, which was a great time, but a really long drive. Basically, we don't know yet, heck, it hasn't even came up yet. But, The Championships we will go to for sure!

Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Living in the Pacific Northwest reminds us of what things in the good old days were like, when there wasn't a regional on every street corner like there is these days. Beyond Portland, OR, the closest event is in Davis, CA -- a 750 mile journey from Seattle!
Since we've got to fly to a second event, whether it be in Davis or Atlanta, we're tentatively planning to attend the event in Los Angeles next year in addition to the Pacific Northwest Regional in Portland. |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
We're [[354]] diffidently going to NYC regionals since that's where we are. I wish we could go to a 2nd one. Hopefully we will ^_^
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
I'm not officially talking for my team, but we should be going to West Michigan and at least one other regional. Great Lakes, Mid West, Boilermaker, and Buckeye are the most likely ones I think we would be considering. Then you never know, we have been talking about either St. Louis and Milwaukee, but like I said I'm not officially talking for my team. We are also going to the Kettering Kickoff in a couple of weeks.
Edit: Also we will try and go to Nationals, either by registering or winning our way in. |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Our team will be attending Arizona as usual, and we are for certain attending one other event. We'll either be going to SoCal, Las Vegas, San Diego, or The Championships. If we're really lucky we'll go to 2 of these events, but with how fundraising has gone so far I don't think that will happen.

Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Looks like Toronto just moved up to a strong possibility for team 1403's 2nd regional. We would be honored to play with our friends to the north. :)
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
New regionals seem to always bring some more teams from longer distances. That's why I'm sad that I won't be in SD next year... Hopefully my school's schedule will permit me to volunteer and maybe even fly home! Anywho, team 812 has been rooting for San Diego regional for so long; I don't think they/we really have a choice.
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
This might be considered thread jacking, but I'm not sure.
It'd be cool if we compiled a list of what teams active on CD are at each regional. Then at each regional we would have something like a Secret Santa among teams. Each team would make/machine a cool nick nack or gift for another and they would be given to the teams at the regional. |

Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
1923, although this sounds odd, is most likely doing philly. One of the reasons is because of family conflicts [my father judges chairman's for NJ....] & also because NJ is a regional with AMAZING amazing teams, playing at a level our team's not quite ready for. [not that philly area teams aren't amazing as well :-)] We figure we give something new a try. it's about the same distance from our school to either regional, so it's not a huge travel expense.

Hey Libby, we love to have your team come compete with us at the Philadelphia Regional. I always like the competition that comes out of Philly.
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
we'll be at phoenix and/or Cleavland as well as boilermaker.
see you there... wonder what the game will be... :confused: -Q |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Championships and.... ??? We don't know yet. Could be Midwest, Boilermaker, West Michigan, Great Lakes, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, or Wisconsin. I'd like to go back to Midwest but Cleveland could be fun and we've had great luck at St. Louis. Update to come when the team gets around to deciding where we want to go. But The Championship is a definite. I might not be at any competition though. Makes me sad.
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
We're going to the Championships if we can afford it; if not then San Diego. Yeah new regionals!

The one problem is if VCU and NJ stay on the same weekend, they will both be Week 1 regionals next year :( So then 1403 couldn't come. But we encourage everyone else to! ;) If 116 continues as it has, we will likely attend 2 competitions, most likely a local one and one further away. Hopefully our 2nd competition will be Championship, if not then we might make the trip to somewhere like Peachtree, Pittsburgh, Philly, NJ, Buckeye, or NYC. Of course we could goto both VCU and Chesepeake, like we did in 03 and 04. Who knows. |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
I am not talking on my team's behalf but we probably will do the local competition this year as always either Detroit or Great Lakes and the Championships, but for the rest, I don't know the past two years we have done three regionals. In 05' we did Detroit, Pittsburgh, and West Michigan, and in 06' we went to Great Lakes, Detroit, and West Michigan along with the Championships both years. I don't know officially until school starts when the team leaders decide where we want to go. Wherever you all decide to go Good Luck and happy competition to all. :) :)
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
166 is definately going to GSR. We go every year.
We've been alternating whether we go to a second regional, or nationals. We went to nationals this past year, so we're most likely going to another regional next year. Personally, I'd like to go to either the LA regional, or GLR. |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
1379 will be at Peachtree, as usual, and we're hopefully going to Palmetto also. If all goes well, maybe we'll be at the Dome as well.
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
So...........anyone planning on going to the NYC regional? Or at least thinking?
Party in the Javits Center!! |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
for 612 this year was our first going to 2 regionals (VCU, Annapolis) and also went to nationals, it was lots of fun going to 2 regionals so were thinking about going to 2 again
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
176...definently UTC Hartford and most likely BAE...but that could change. And of course the Championships! What a blast we had everywhere we went. :D
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Well Ramtech (Team 59) is going to the Las Vegas regionals, I heard the spirit is awesome there so competition there but we have a secret weapon! Haha! Anyways I doubt we'll go to nationals this year since las vegas is far meaning more money or something. o.o
But next year is my last year and I want to go to nationals again that team social was just off the sprocket. |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Hometown Wisconsin Regional and hopefully Toronto for the first time.
It will be an awesome year. |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Team 1636 is going to the Colorado Regionals, since of course it's our home regional, as for a second, we've never done one and I don't know if our team wants to(most likely), but it depends on, of course, money.
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Team 306 is probably going to Pittsburgh and for the second Regional it will be unknown until time gets closer. O yeah and of course we will be hopefully going to championships.:)
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Cyber Blue 234 will probably go to the Boilermaker Regional and one other regional this year.
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Dawgma will again be attending the Philly Regional this year (It's only about 10 miles away). As for more than that... we're still deciding the last I remember. We're thinking of doing more, but we'll have to wait and see once school starts back up again.
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Team 1625 will most likely be going to St. Louis week one and Midwest week three and hopefully Nats. We would go to Milwaukee to defend our title but back to back regionals would be really hard on most of our teams grades.
I look forward to seeing who else will be at these regionals and these aren't final yet. |

We will be attending AZ week 2, and then in theory the Championship. If we don't have enough money we will attend San Diego week 4 (this is a nice time, since it's our spring break). If we're lucky and get lots of sponsorships we'll attend all 3 of them since attending San Diego will not affect our school work in any way. I hope some of the California teams will still make the trek out to Arizona even with So Cal week 2. |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
It is sometimes more fun for me when I don't know where other teams are going, so I am going to have to say that it will be a surprise this year where 492 is going.

1138 will be going to the LA Regional like always, then going to Boilermaker, and then maybe San Diego. We'll definitely be at ATL.

Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?

Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
SparX are going to Fingerlakes regional, Championship, and possibly Buckeye(if fundraising permits)and of course the Ruckus this year(at one of our two high schools! Everyone should come to it!)

Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
1103 will be at Milwaukee, and possibly Chicago. Millwaukee is only about a hour drive, and Chicago is only 2-2.5 hours so if we have the money we'll go there too.

703 will be attending Detroit, West Michigan and Championships! Can't wait till January!!!!

195 is at least going going to UTC and the Championships, more if our fundraising will let us. ;)
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
we are definetly going to NJ and were looking forward to see all our NJ friends there :)
also we are possibly going to show up at either Palmetto or Boston. scales are tipping toward Boston at the moment but no final decision yet. this year we're are only going to go to the championship if we qualify at a regional and we are definatly aiming to do that. |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
We (if we get the money) will be going to the VCU Regional in Richmond.

Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Team 87 will be attending the Chesapeake and Philadelphia regional this year. We were very upset to hear that we wouldn't be attending NJ regional, but due to scheduling and budgetary issues, it wasn't possible this year.
But we can't wait to see everyone at Chesapeake and Philly!! |

Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
You will need to arrange for expedited shipping of your crate. It will be an added cost that you have to be prepared for. It's sometimes very expensive. There are other considerations to think of such as getting time off from work (for your mentors/chaperones) and time off from school (for your students) two weeks in a row.
From the 2006 game manual, "6.6.4 Back-to-Back Events Contact the Drayage Company(s) well before both competitions to see if it can/will extend the crate arrival deadline for your team. You must use the Shepard Exposition Services’ designated shipper. You cannot use FedEx in this case, because FedEx does not pick up at events on Saturdays and your robot will not make the competition on time. You must make all arrangements early to have your robot ship and arrive on time." |
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
My team... once created and such... will probably only be able to go to St. Louis regional. I would choose KC, but I think we have midterms during that week!
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Davis! And Siilicon Valley, if we can get the money.
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Team 830 is definitely going to Great Lakes Regional. We're also planning to go to St. Louis, the Championship (if we get in), and maybe Waterloo (if we get funding for a 3rd regional).
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
Unfortunately due to some political run arounds within our organization, Eagle Corps Robotics Team 1158 had to withdrawn from the Florida Regional. It it unfortunate that politics have to been involved when it comes to a students' possible future. But we still plan on going to the Denver Regional to defend out title, and also return to the Arizona Regional. Bring the season on. Good luck everyone.
|
Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
610 will be going to the BAE SYSTEMS Granite State Regional, then the Waterloo Regional, and finally, as always, we will be attending the Greater Toronto Regional to finish off our 2007 season. Look out for us at any of these regionals. It looks like we will be the only international team in New Hampshire so you'll be hearing from us there :p

Re: 2007 FRC Events, where are you going?
