Invading other regions!
 
Checking out the teamlists so far, looks like we got some travelers! Team 25 decides to come up to New England for the Hartford Regional! Way to go guys! May I send out this invite to every team outside of New England looking for a challenge...come on out! No more talking about East vs. Midwest, or New England vs. Midatlantic. Lets just do it!

Furthermore, how about that Florida regional!?! New England sending 5 of its best down south to take on the big dogs! I'll definately be tuning into that webcast.

Team 254 is likely venturing east to the Great Lakes Regional, depending on cost.

Last I checked, VCU was on the East Coast and 234 was here in 2003 :p

New York > Everything else.

We're going to California. Does that count?

Virginia isn't the north east though. I consider it being South.

...and yet many of us in the South would contend that Virginia is not the South, but rather the beginning of the North. Or, if you're allowing more resolution than the Civil War did, the Mid-Atlantic.

We are a traveling team. The same places get kind of old.

We're debating what regional we want to go to next. I want to go to GLR REALLY BAD but it's the week following GSR. We don't do that week.

So my next choice would have been LA, but it's that same week.

So now I really want to go to Boilermaker.

Team 987 is registered to attend the SVR and looking forward to competing with 254, 8 (again) and a host of other new teams...any ideas for good places to stay/eat near SJSU?

There are teams from upstate NY(229) and Indiana (234) competing in this year's Long Island Regional. Normally, I would be thrilled to have teams participating from outside the area. However, the event capacity was lowered to 30 teams this year and some local schools may be shut out.

The couldn't they just participate in the New York City Regional which can accommodate about 60 teams?

Remember, the number of openings posted on the Regional registration chart on FIRST website doesn't reflect the many slots held back for newer/rookie regional teams...

They could participate in the NYC regional. However, teams from eastern Long Island would probably have a 3 to 4 hour commute each way due to traffic. Hotel rates are ridiculous in the city and parking is hard to find and expensive. Mass transit would be difficult as the Javits Center is not convenient to any subway stops.

How can everyone forget the land of the Wedding Crashers and Crabs???

There are still 40 spots open for the Chesapeake Regional! (I'm actually thinking about volunteering there in the spring, but I'm not sure.)
