I am pretty sure about having one by 2006. 2005 is still kind of unsure. They are having a meeting in May about the regional and I'll post anything I hear. We have the money I just don't know if we are too late to have one next year. That was the impression I got from some of the team mentors who talked to the FIRST official in charge of regionals. But we will see. I know if it does happen it won't be the first weekend because the Big 12 basketball tournament is in town. About where KC would have a regional, probably Hale Arena by Kemper Arena (where the American Royal is), Municipal Auditorium by Bartle Hall (big convention center), or my preferred place Overland Park Convention Center (but I don't think they have the seating, they do have a lot of hotel and places to eat nearby though, and lots of space plus a cybercafe). All three would have a little more room than the St. Charles Family Center. So that is all I know for right now. I'll try to post again after they have the meeting to see if anything new has come of it.
