@dtengineering: Any chance we're going to see 1346 come back from the dead thanks to the WestCanada Regional?

In a word, no. The team had a good run of it, and has a lasting legacy in the ever-growing population of VEX teams here in BC, but retirements and new job opportunities have led to an 80%+ turnover in the tech studies teaching staff over the past three years.

I have to add that the funding and staffing policies that the BC government has directed towards K-12 education over the past decade or so have not helped teachers to have the free time, resources, or energy to undertake major projects.

The cool part is that while 1346 won't be back, we carefully stored away some significant resources to aid any new BC teams. So maybe a little bit of 1346 will make it's way out to Calgary one day, if only in spirit.

Re: Registration 2013

Here is a map of last season's teams that still don't show up on the registered rolls.
~80 of them (almost 20%) are hidden on event waitlists, while others are in no rush to sign up, so there's no immediate worry, but 200+ of these teams probably won't return this year for a variety of reasons.

This is a terrific resource. Thanks !

I'm going to ask around and try to follow up with some of the Houston teams that have not registered yet.

Re: Registration 2013

As a member of 3132, I get chills down my spine when I see the new teams on the FIRST website. It is SOO FANTASTIC to not be alone!!!!!! If you check out the FIRST website, there is us, another 2 Sydney teams, a Melbourne team and an Adelaide team, and to be honest, it wouldn't suprise me if there was another 1 or 2. We will all be travelling to Hawaii for the regional there, so there isn't a regional Down Under this year. We did, however, run an off season event, where 3 of the 4 rookie teams had a go.

Don't quote me on it, but there may be another 2 teams from Auckland, New Zealand as well. Not sure which regional they would go to, but most likely Hawaii.

I really look forward to the day where we won't be alone in Australia, but will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with fellow Australians at our own regional, and with others from afar.

If Australia ever has a new regional, you can be sure at least 1 Hawaii team will be there.

Granite State cleared 8 teams from their pool of waiting teams in one lump.

I'm a member of 3132. Whenever I think about the 4 new teams that have been established in Australia, I get shivers down my spine. To think that we were the only team just a few short months ago is incredible. We have 2 new teams in Sydney, a team from Melbourne and a team from Adelaide, and it wouldn't suprise me if there was another 1 or 2. On top of this, I hear there may be another 2 teams from Auckland in New Zealand. All the Australian teams will be travelling to the Hawaii Regional. I am SO excited to even think about the prospect of being there. To stand in that stadium with pride, pride of being Australian. To think that we won't be the only ones from the land Down Under.

As I said before, we are going to Hawaii. This, of course, means no regional. We did, however, have a off season event, the "Duel Down Under" and 3 of the 4 new teams competed there, with the other one hosting the event at their school.

When we get our very own regional, just the thought of American teams coming excites me =D We would LOVE to have you guys here =D And if it desn't happen in 2014, we will always have the Duel Down Under =D

=D

Re: Registration 2013

After 2nd Regional event registration opened...

8 veteran teams and 4 rookies appeared on the registration rolls in the two hours after noon.

64% (43% before noon) of all events, Regional & Districts, are now full - at waitlist status.
~64% (38% before noon) of Regionals are full (36)
~75% (same) of Districts are full (12)

Close events filled quickly, some within seconds.
Other events still see teams dribbling in.

It varies by event/Regional Director and each year is a little different.
Once they all cleared before 2nd Regional registration opened, but I only remember that happening the one time.

I'll take a look and report back.

P.S.
It looks like Palmetto has released it's waitlisted teams.
