Re: toughest regional in 2011?
This ought to be an interesting year.

2056 is registered for 3 regionals for the first time. The rookie sensation, thats by no means a rookie anymore is on their quest to make it the drive for 11 consecutive regional wins, winning every regional they've ever competed in. They're looking to join that small but powerful group of teams that have won 3 in the same year.

2010 GTR represented their 8th time at the top of the podium since their first time there in 2007 at Waterloo. Can 2011 FLR, Waterloo and GTRWest be numbers 9, 10 and 11? We'll have to wait and see.

I'm excited for this year as its 1075's first attempt at 3 regionals in one year as well. We will be attending FLR, GTREast and Waterloo.

Waterloo will be tough to win. With 1114 and 2056 scheduled to attend, and the disappearance of strong teams like 1503 and 1565, its difficult to predict anything but either 1114 or 2056 seeding #1 and selecting the other. That being said, the 3 robot entry from one school in MI could be interesting (teams 216, 244, and 288)
