We'll probably end up at Rock City, Queen City or St Louis for our second regional since they are all about 6 hrs away.. Orlando and Palmetto are also possible but they are 10 hrs away.

Well, I just put out an email to the regional director for Ohio and it won't exactly be Queen City. Their venue there is under construction, so they're moving it to Dayton, an hour north of Cincinnati. They don't have dates yet.
Honestly, we'll still probably go to that. I am just personally disappointed because I'm from and have family in the Cincinnati area.

On the bright side, I'll have more of my vacation time available for non-FIRST activities.

I'm wondering what exactly is gonna be done about inspectors for sure. There is a lot of crossover there, and I know we've always had a long wait for inspectors. I just hope the waits won't be longer this year.
