So I'd like to propose working groups. These would be groups of people on a waves of whom are attending different regionals, work on different subsystems, etc.
If we want to start a MWR wave, for example, then we'd go to the "Regional Competitions" forum and start a thread just for those attending that regional. We can discuss strategies, robots, CA, how to help teams through inspections (especially those who don't think they need any help...), etc. As a more public and permanent place to put those types of things, we can start a CD thread with the results.
What do you guys & gals think?

That's a wonderful idea.
I just see one problem... The Oklahoma City Regional have 55 team. Yes I know that is a lot, but we still have a problem. Being a young regional; all the teams tend to keep to themselves. I don't know of anyone that goes to our regional that is even on Chief Delphi. (Now this isn't saying much. I do tend to be the uninformed one.) But I don't think many of the teams check here enough to benefit from the waves anymore than they would from CD.
That being said. Where would someone like myself go? I am pretty sure I am not the only one in this situation. I could stick with CD only seeing as I have no wave to join. Or would I find a Wave about drivetrains, end effectors, or chassis that was meant for another regional? What would you suggest?
