3411's "home" regional, Bayou, is an 6 hour drive on a car, and a seven and a half hour drive on a bus. Smoky Mountain is also 6 hours away. :yikes:

Hahah I have you all beat ;)

Two years ago we drove 48 hours over the course of three days to get to Atlanta.

This year we're drive 22 hours in one day to get to St. Louis

Regionals are fairly close 4 hours to Phoenix and 2 to Vegas

About an hour long carpool to Denver. This year we took a charter bus to KC, which was about 12 hours, and I want to say it was along the lines of 18 hours when we took a charter out to Atlanta in 09

Re: How far does your team drive?
 

One of the convenient things about being in Connecticut is that there are a lot of options nearby. We've done the ~40 min drive to the Connecticut Regional (once called the New England Regional) every year of our team's existence. In 2010 we drove ~1.5 hours to WPI for our second regional, and this year, we drove ~6 hours to Baltimore for our second regional.

The years we went to Atlanta we flew rather than driving, and we won't be going to St. Louis this year, but if we were to have gone, we would have flown there too.

Re: How far does your team drive?
 

Each year we drive ~30 minutes to the Philadelphia Regional.
For the past two years we've driven ~6 hours to the Finger Lakes Regional.
This year, we drove ~2 hours to the Chesapeake Regional.

3 years ago we flew to Atlanta, tho I forget how long it took...I know we had some parents who drove down to meet us. However, they were stopping other places cuz they were making a vacation out of it.

This year we're flying down to St. Louis. and again, I have no idea how long it will take us haha I know we're planning on possibly seeing the Arch Wednesday afternoon, and we're leaving our workshop at 9 am that morning

Re: How far does your team drive?
 

Our team drives for about a half hour, give or take. We are located just outside of Seattle, so getting there quickly is just a matter of how much traffic there is.

Re: How far does your team drive?
 

Over the last 3 years:

Davis/Sacramento Regional: 2.5 hour drive
Silicon Valley Regional: 20 minute drive
San Diego Regional: 10 hour drive (but we flew so it doesn't count haha)
Seattle Cascade Regional: 2 day drive.

We've always flown to anywhere out of state but this year our gracious mentor decided to save us the pain of working with FIRST to try and ship the robot up to Washington and drive our robot up to Seattle. We're verrryy grateful that he did that haha

Re: How far does your team drive?
 

FRC 3320's loyal to the Lone Star Regional so about a 3 hour drive from Austin, TX to Houston, TX.
