I'd have to disagree Oliver. Team 1114 submitted in Long Island last year and received great reviews. The judges were very impressed with the submission, and were honoured that we chose to spread our message in Long Island. FIRST judges have awarded RCAs to non local teams in the past, and I don't see why a Canadian team would be any different.
This year Team 1114 is submitting in Waterloo. The regional is the new "home base" for the NiagaraFIRST.org teams, so we figured it was the most appropriate place to submit.
