Re: Regional?
1318 has attended Portland the last three years and UC Davis last year as well. Portland is a very exciting and comparatively large regional, and the machines there were at least as competitive as those at UC Davis, especially considering it was a first-week regional. However, it has less of a "small town" feel, as there are 10-15 more teams at Portland than Davis and the venue is much much larger, so things are more spread out. The plus side to all the space is that the aisles between the rows of pits are very large, making transporting the robot much easier and the pits themselves may even be a foot or two longer on a side.
