Re: Registration 2012

  • District 14 (Battle Creek) would be a good choice. That doesn't have an event yet, has the most new team growth, and is still close to the high team density Detroit area.
  • District 7, Lansing would push the FiM center farther north and did have an event the first year when FiM was a pilot, so they'd know what's involved (or would that make Lansing shy away?).
  • Kalamazoo might be a consideration based on team density and potential new team population.
Any other District teams care to jump in with opinions?

I've been busy myself running a series of rookie workshops (mechanical, pneumatics, electrical, programming, putting it all together) at two rookie sites locally.
Yesterday one rookie team finished assembling all the electronics and got a running robot, last night I took the robot apart, today another rookie team gets to put it all together (again). I feel like I'm on one of those hampster wheels.
