As Andy said, everything is still in a finalization stage and may move around. I would not suggest booking plane tickets and hotels around this schedule. Wait for a final announcement coming from FIRST in the near future.

2/28-3/1: BAE, Midwest, New Jersey, Oregon, St. Louis

One other thing that came to my attention here is that 2008 is a Leap Year, thus being this week would be the Feb. 29th to March 1st... the 28th is a Thursday for 2008....

You got that right. We were looking forward to having those folks who always leave town at spring break able to see WMR. Our other preferred regionals (Boilermaker, but Wisconsin also) will also force the back to back situation. This really throws a wrench into our plans.

First time (in 8 years) for VCU to not be a week one regional. Should be nice to have someone else work out the kinks. :D

GTR is actually a decent amount away from LA Regional this year. If we make it over, at least there will be less of a chance for a missing robot and another need for a one day wonder. ;)

(edit)
oh wait nevermind, it's still the following week. Israel being alone confused me. lol

To see the list, you must log in with your VIMS id (or create an id). After you enter your personal information, you get to the volunteer preferences pages, where you put down the events where you can volunteer. There is a drop-down list with the events and dates.

No FLL or FTC events yet.

I don't believe FTC events will be listed in VIMS. Contact the Affiliate Partnerfor the area you are interested in for volunteer opportunities.

For FLL, it would be only the World Festival. I didn't know about FTC, now that it's "official" and everything.

I received an email reply from an event volunteer coordinator, and she said that not all dates were set in stone yet. They didn't have a contract signed with the venue.

I was also just informed of the same information, for what it's worth; particularly with respect to Seattle.

anyone else upset that the GLR and the GTA regionals are at the same time??
We wanted to go to both for because there are so many great teams in both.. hopefully this ends up changing lol :S:( :S

LSR is week 4 this year, as opposed to week 5 last year. It also falls under our team's spring break too, so I don't miss any school
LSR Will be taking place in Katy ISD's Merrel Center. See the forum below if need more info (more will come later).
