Re: 2013 Greater Kansas City Regional

While we are at our 54 team open registration capacity, this tournament can easily go to 64 teams. Anybody out there on the wait-list?

Did you know... of the 54 teams currently registered 21 of them (39%) have been to Championships in the last 3 years, meaning they could have student members on the team who can speak about the experience first hand.

0935 (2011) – earned but declined spots in 2010 and 2012
0967 (2010, 2011)
1209 (2012)
1625 (2010, 2011)
1710 (2011, 2012)
1730 (2010, 2011)
1764 (2010, 2011, 2012)
1984 (2011)
1986 (2010, 2011, 2012)
1987 (2010, 2012)
2164 (2010, 2012)
2341 (2010, 2012)
2345 (2010)
2359 (2011)
2410 (2010, 2012)
2451 (2011, 2012) as team #2949
2996 (2011, 2012)
3528 (2011, 2012)
3784 (2011, 2012)

An additional 12 teams have been to champs earlier in their history. Most recent year listed for each team.

662 (2006), 938 (2004), 1723 (2006), 1775 (2007), 1802 (2008), 1806 (2009), 1810 (2006), 1939 (2008), 1997 (2007), 2004 (2009), 2335 (2008), 2874 (2009)

PS. Going to Champs is not the best indicator of a successful team. There are a ton of great teams who build very successful robots, and send students to top end colleges every year who don't find their way to Champs. Looking forward to the day when a district system allows the teams who have been close for years to finally go.
