Didn't Deano say something in Cleveland about NASA switching em up a little too? Sponsoring a new regional for 1 year, then moving on?

Is 25 possible?

I suppose that we could get close to 25 regionals next year.

Really.

I think that FIRST has pretty much decided to base its future growth strategy on recruiting teams in and around regional cities.

In order to get 30-40% growth, they need to keep getting 30-40% more regionals. That would mean 5-7 NEW regionals in 2003. Is it possible? I suppose yes.

Where else would you put such regionals?

How about these cities:
Minneapolis
Madison or Milwaukee
Indianapolis
Pittsburg
New Orleans
Huntsville, AL (another NASA city)
Miami
Atlanta (can you say, "Coke"?)
Memphis
Buffallo or Niagra or Rochester
Denver
Salt Lake City
Windsor, Ontario*
Montreal, Quebec
Vancouver, British Columbia

That should get us through 2004 anyway.

I can hardly wait.

Joe J.

*Yes, I know that Windsor is just accross from Detroit and that it is not that far from Toronto -- but it has a LOT of auto industry suppliers and it is in Canada which will draw a different set of teams AND Detroit needs a second regional anyway -- this is a good way to relieve some of the pressure on the Great Lakes Regional without actually having a regional in Detroit, drawing corporate support away from the GLR.

Also, the KSC regional will NOT be at KSC next year. Looks like it will move somewhere else in central/north florida.

You said Brazil?

That's totally unofficial, but it's one of the main goals of our team: A regional in Brazil. Very unlikely to start in 2003, likely to go in 2004.
Of course we all know that most of the teams would have to be local, but would american/canadian teams fly all the way down here to compete?

(By the way, I read a release from team 22 stating that they were contacting people to start a team in Colombia - is it true? Someone from the team to confirm this)

Yea, you're probably right. I remember Dean saying that there are already 22 regionals that are definite for next year.

FIRST wanted the BAE one to either be in Boston or Worchester when we started trying to get it approved but we got it in Manchvegas so i doubt there will be a Boston one next year!
