So sorry to hear about the communication problem. I will follow up with a talk to our Volunteer Coordinator and try to see what may have happened...he has always been very good about processing requests. Was your request only through VIMS or was it direct through our website? If you or anyone else finds it easier to communicate with me I will happily play the middle man. I am going to be the main team liaison for all potential or registered teams to LVR this year.

I applied through VIMS.

So when Registering for competitions this year do you think that the Wild Card will affect which regional's fill up first? Will a week 3 or 4 event fill up quicker than a week 1 or 2 event? Any thought may be helpful for teams registering for events.

Most definitely. If teams are planning on attending say, a week 1 regional and a week 4 regional with traditional fill up times being the same, the week 4 regional will fill up faster this year for sure. If it is a tossup between these 2 regionals, and one has a potential additional qualifying spot, I know which event I would select first.

The Robonauts are going to be very excited to play with some west coast teams during week 6 at Silicon Valley.

If registration works out, we're also planning on Lone Star during week 2 and Bayou during week 4.

We would love to have you guys come to Bayou! Texas teams are always fun to have and this is particularly true for NASA friends. (if memory serves me well, this we be y'alls first time back since 2008)
