Re: FRC trivia quiz
Question 6 about which places has Worlds been held really stumped me.
Overall, someone who loves FIRST could get an easy 90% (like me), but I bet many FIRST kids could fail it. Lol. Good quiz.

Re: Current Districts Map. Who is next?
As some were saying above, the University would be great for a DCMP. NE FIRST with 175 teams had 60 teams at their DCMP with a total of 35 going to Worlds. That would be perfect for a regional sized...

Re: Current Districts Map. Who is next?
I'm curious about a few things since I've never participated in the regional model before. So what would adding two regionals add to benefit FIRST in MN? Is it just to get the community to rally...

Re: Current Districts Map. Who is next?

Re: "Black Box" Electrical Board
So in 2014, we had a "roll cage" like thing for our electronics. It was held down by 4 allen bolts so it was fairly easy to take off. It was a see through blue and was made of some sort of plastic (I...

Re: Current Districts Map. Who is next?
Totally agreed. You probably should have around 50 teams to go to districts. You may be able to get away with 45 teams but assuming you have at minimum, 32 teams go to District Champs, you need...

So basically, the conversation now is about the volunteer base? So would MN like to go to districts if they had the volunteer base of Michigan? I can't believe how many events they have in Michigan...

Re: Indiana District Events Announced
Whenever I watch events, I pull up multiple tabs and switch to other events when one event is setting up the next match, I watch a different event. You just gave me ideas for next year ;)

Re: Georgia Districts confirmed for 2016!
Agreed. In Indiana Districts, 1741 only beat 447 out by 9 points. And that was because 1741 won 3 5-point awards (One of which was triple weighted due to being at district champs) so that was equal...

Re: CAGE Match VIII
My guess is that it has something to do with our human player or another human player in Indiana or Worlds... but I'm not 100% sure it's that.
