This was an issue in 2005 or 2006 and some Texas Teams traveled but the number was less than most years. That was a one time conflict but will now be a three year conflict for all Texas FRC, FTC, & FLL teams just when the State announced a $1,000,000 grant to start new robotics teams in Texas. Texas Education Agency Testing calendars has TAKS exams the last week in April for 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 academic years with the schedule for the third year due out this summer.
