I need to know about when the Canadian (or in general) regional events will be held. I know the schedule is still being worked out but from your experience when can I expect to be competing. I also have a question about the minium 10 team member cap. I want to get as many people involved in this. Is the 10 person maxium only for those attending the event or those only on the build/design team? How does this member limit break down?

Your team can have up to ten students, although it seems that the sweet spot is in the 5-7 range. If your program grows bigger than that, there's always registering another team. That team can either buy the bundle kit, or just buy the essential parts (motors, controller, radio, etc.) and bum metal and wheels and such off of the other team.
We're glad to have you aboard! After seeing it in person during the pilot season, I think that FVC is a great starting point for a robotics program. I think the kids will enjoy it.
