Re: 2008 Regional Registration Progress

As of this afternoon there are 1286 registered FRC teams shown on the FIRST site.

I assume Mike's 33 team figure above is accurate although I don't know its source, so the total of registered teams is 1319, a bit ahead of last year's final total. So any increase from here on is year-over-year growth.

405 total registration slots are shown as available, so overall registration is at 77% of published capacity.

Seventeen regionals are now at their published capacity: BAE Granite State, Midwest, Finger Lakes, Greater Kansas City, NASA VCU, Boilermaker, Detroit, Florida, Peachtree, Silicon Valley, Oklahoma City, Boston, Great Lakes, Hawaii, Minnesota, Philadelphia, and SBPLI Long Island. The 33 teams that Mike reported above are waitlisted for one of these "filled" regionals as their first regional. An unknown number of teams are waitlisted for one of these as a second regional. And six other regionals appear likely to reach their published capacity soon, because they have more teams pending than open spots.

Adding total registrations for all regionals and subtracting 1286 leaves 87 teams that are now confirmed for a second regional, and there are 203 teams shown as pending for a second regional. Total second regional participation is hard to predict now because of the unknown number of waitlisted teams.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
