I am originally from the Worcester area, and I think it would be a great location for a regional.

However, FIRST has already expanded the number of regionals in the New England area. This past year the NH regional was added. Additionally, the Maryland regional can take more teams.

If there is a group of you out there who would like to start a regional in Worcester, the very first thing you should do is contact FIRST and make sure they want one there. I am skeptical that there is enough demand in an area already populated with a large number of regionals.

Having said that, check in with team 190 as well, they've considered turning BattleCry@WPI into an official regional but for some reason they have opted not to pursue that route. There may be a reason for that.
