Thanks for the feedback, Ed! We are doing our best to make sure we put on a great event for the teams.

Michael, we won't be allowing teams to register two robots (ie competition bot and practice bot), however, we highly encourage veteran teams to invite another school or organization to compete with practice bots as a pre-rookie team. Pre-rookies get to play for free.

The most up-to-date list only has two additional teams from my last update. I need to send out a registration confirmation before posting the newest list, but I will post it tomorrow when I have the chance. I plan to send out an email again before then to Texas teams to remind them to register if they are interested. In addition, we should end up with a team(s) from Oklahoma, Louisiana, and perhaps Hawaii and California.
