Re: 2011 FRC Season dates
 

Anybody have an idea on the Midwest Regional? Last year it was week 3, the week after Wisconsin, but they also scheduled it the same time as the St. Louis regional, as well as another regional, so I can't have any idea as to where they will have it. Anyone know?

Re: 2011 FRC Season dates
 

If the Midwest Regional is during UIC's spring break, it will be a week 4 competition (March 24-26th). Though last year they had it during the last days before spring break, which would make it a week 3 event again (March 15-17th).

Not sure where you got the idea that Las Vegas Regional for 2011 is third week Chris...I am on the planning committee and I can tell you that it will take place March 31-April 2 as of this point, so feel free to adjust your list to reflect the news. Expect another well run regional again so make plans to join us! Stay up to date with our website:

If I had to guess, the Midwest Regional will be a week 3 again, because they seem to like to keep it on the first half of the season. Also it being a week 3 event would directly follow Wisconsin once again this year. But, then again, you never know :P

Re: 2011 FRC Season dates
 

Actually, now that I think about it, week 4 would be preferable for most teams because then they would have a week in between Wisconsin and Midwest, which I know many teams attend both.

But again, you never know with FIRST :P

Hahaha, yay for Granite State Regional in NH too!

Re: 2011 FRC Season dates
 

Thanks for sharing. NC and Virginia is a good possibility since our robot could get there in time.:rolleyes:

Re: 2011 FRC Season dates
 

Anyone know when the new Tennessee Regional in Knoxville will be? I'm assuming that it won't be too close to Peachtree since the same person's in charge of both. On the flip side, that should make Tennessee super awesome whenever it happens!

Re: 2011 FRC Season dates
 

Really? Are you referring to Connie?

I know that the P'tree Regional reps have been trying to schedule the regional for either Week 3 or Week 5. But a lot of teams from P'tree and Palmetto overlap, and since our commute to Palmetto has increased almost 5 fold...this new TN regional might be something we look into...

Re: 2011 FRC Season dates
 

Got a slight confirmation from my mentor that NJ will be around the first or second week. NJ is up in the air at the moment as of the regional. Something good is in the works but more on that later.

Re: 2011 FRC Season dates
 

On this list, week 6 has two day events and others are three days. Does anyone think that we are going to see a big increase in bag and tag, or is this just a mistake??

Just my $0.02:D

Re: 2011 FRC Season dates
 

Bill has expressed on his blog that there might be more bag and tag events but they will try to limit two day events.

FYI-You only give 2 cents when you express an opinion.

Re: 2011 FRC Season dates
 

NC might be a bag and tag (only speculation), but the building is reserved for three days.
