Updating once again now that unrestricted registration has begun. 1365 FRC teams are registered, including 249 rookie teams.
21 regional events are now at their published registration capacity. They are: BAE/Granite State, Midwest Chicago, New Jersey, St. Louis, Finger Lakes, Greater Kansas City, Nasa VCU, Boilermaker, Detroit, Florida, Peachtree, Silicon Valley, Wisconsin, Oklahoma City, Boston, Colorado, Great Lakes, Hawaii, Minnesota, Philadelphia, and SBPLI Long Island.
313 published spots remain open so overall regional registration is at 83% of published capacity. (Closer to 90% for North American events.) As before, it is difficult to predict 2nd regional participation because the number of waitlisted teams is not known. However, 139 spots have been confirmed and 172 are pending for teams attending their second and third regional(s).

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.
