Karthik has even graced us with his godly announcing skills in the past.

I love FLR! We have gone to FLR in the past (2007, and 2009). I went in 2009 when my brother was on the team (my rookie year as a member was 2010). I know we were talking about going to it, I'm not sure why we "decided" (haven't really decided yet) Buckeye over FLR. If FLR works better for us than any other regional we will most likely be coming. We don't want to have Back to back regional's like we did this year, so if what we want makes us have back to back then FLR is a perfect plan B.
Though, unlike all the other Canadian teams, we don't live as close to Rochester as them. We live right across from Detroit, so we have to travel up to Niagara (4 ish hours) to cross the border. then make our way to rochester. I think the trip is 6 hours, which to us is average. 2012 we traveled a total of 56 hours (there and back), that was Smoky Mountains, GTR west, Queen City, and St.Louis, Thank gosh one of our sponsors supplies us with vehicles and gas.

! I'll Mention it to our mentors, but a 24 hour drive (literally 24 hours for us) or a plane ride wouldn't really go well with them. If you ever wanted to come up to the "Great White North" and compete with some amazing teams (like 1114, 2056, 188, 610, 1503 etc...) and help us try and defeat 1114 and 2056, that would be amazing!
