Go to Post Pro safety tip: put a string through coil springs that is tied off securely on the robot frame. This will help prevent the spring from jumping out and killing an inspector if it snaps. - Ninja_Bait [more]

I continue to hear Houston as a possibility.

If you look at the options that Raul mentioned, Houston and Phoenix, I think Houston has the lead for a few reasons.

- The hotel situation is marginally better in Houston
- Houston is a more central location
- There are more daily flights in and out of Houston's airport
- With NASA's connection to both the city of Houston and FIRST it seems natural

Quote:
The latest rumor is that it will be in a dome stadium and it is a dome that opens.
If this is true there are a few more remote possibilities. Toronto's Skydome for one. I'm not sure if FIRST is ready to take nationals across the border, but a Torontonian can dream...

We'll see how all this plays out in the next few days. Although, for now I think Houston has become the front runner.
