Re: New Northern Ontario FRC Regional!

Where in the World is FIRST appears to be out-of-date. In Northern Ontario, we currently have:

-1305 (Ice Cubed) - North Bay
-1535 (Kinghts of Alloy) - Sault St. Marie (Canada)
-4069 (Lo-Ellen Robotics) - Sudbury
-4152 (Huntsville Hoyas) - Huntsville
-4699 (ESCT-Flammes) - Timmins
-4704 (Gold Diggers) - Timmins
-4732 (SWC Robotikz) - Thunder Bay
-4754 (RoBenedicts) - Sudbury

These eight teams will cite the new Northern Ontario Regional as the closest to their hometown. If we include Timmins teams (who used to have to travel 8 hrs, now only have to travel 4hrs.), we could then include teams from Ottawa, Brampton, Vaughan, Kincardine, Markham, Oshawa, Toronto, Mississauga etc.

And with 4 events in Ontario now, they'll be less of a chance of competing against the same opponent twice, giving teams tremendous opportunities for winning awards and events.

I myself can't wait!
