For Long Island we are still missing one veteran team, but we've regained two vets who sat out last year (doing FVC), and we've gained three local rookies. I think the missing vet will get registered eventually too. 49% of the public high school districts have FRC teams.
The SBPLI Regional also cleared it's wait list a couple of days ago and is now at full (unpublished) capacity. We're all sucking in our guts to fit in the pits.
It looks like several Regionals are making their decisions and assigning final capacity for many of the wait lists.
