The reason we are looking at either this event or Buckeye is the close proximity for our robot crate to get from a Week 1 event at Lake Superior to here. Last season, we paid an insane amount for shipping our robot from event to event, and want to limit that as much as possible, while seeing snow week 1.
Nothing confirmed but we are trying to let our parents know early on the possibilities.

The event is being held at Bradley University in Peoria, IL. Peoria is about a 3 hour ride or so from Chicago if you're flying into O'Hare. Peoria does have an airport, as well, that may be an alternative option depending on flight schedules. We have mentors on the planning committee, so I can help get you guys as much info as possible to help you out. Let me know if there's anything we can do!
Like someone mentioned earlier, CIR has traditionally been officially added to the schedule in the September time frame. Similarly, it'll probably be around that same time frame again this year.
