The Palmetto Regional's New Location

[JohnFogarty]

I only ask because 1102 has been around since 2001, I've never actually asked someone where our original regionals were held.

Not quite. (2003 was the first year for four-digit team numbers...and it's not too far below 1293, which started in 2004.)

If palmetto is confirmed for the Week 1 , 1772 is happy to go back to South Caroline in 2013!

1102 History says the team won Rookie All-Star in 2003 as Billfred indicated.
They began making their mark at the Peachtree Regional.

So as it seems I know nothing in terms of years.
Oh well. I gave it a guess.
I forgot to check the website before posting.

PS, 1772 we always want you guys back here in SC!

So looking at the regional list, I see some of the usual suspects and some returning and new-to-Palmetto teams:

346 (Last attended in 2007 in Columbia)
401 (Never attended before)
538 (Last attended in 2010 in Clemson, plus '07)
1598 (Never attended before)
2363 (Last attended in 2011 in Charleston, and they won it)
3959 (Never attended before)

Also on the list: 1102, 1293, and 1398 are the only ones to have signed up for all ten Palmetto Regionals. There are more teams that could join them, but they haven't yet.

Rumor has it, we might be coming back to the Palmetto Regional

Would be our first time at a week 1 event.

[JohnFogarty]

For those teams that compete in FTC, I would like to point out that the planning committee at SC State University scheduled the FTC competition on the same day as the FRC competition.

It's just tentative, but the plan is for 1648 to make our way to Palmetto for week 1. Ought to be good.

Well, looks like we were able to grab a spot in the scramble for 2nd events.

Additionally, just noticed that 1398 is back. Hopefully they return the same way they went out.

587 is going to Palmetto this year. We managed to grab a slot in the two minutes before it filled up.

I didn't see 2059 or 2640 on the list so a repeat of SCRIW II can't happen.

This is going to be fun.

the Brazilian/South Carolina team is happy to see old friends!
