2013 Wisconsin Regional

It seems like many changes are in store for the WI regional..... Staying at week 4 and Midwest moving to a different week has seemed to strengthen this regional dramatically!

Some teams that stick out in my head from a robot perspective that will be at WI this year:

16
71
93
111
3 x RoboDawgs teams
1714
1732
2062
2194
2338
2481
2530
2574
3940 (woot for some Baker action)
4143
...and many more

I am sad to see that 1625 is not coming back to WI, I love these guys. 1675 seems to have signed up for NL for their second regional; it would be a crime if they did not come to WI! 2169 is one of the most spirited teams I have seen and I would love to see them come back!

Dare I say that WI might be the new Midwest this year..........?

It also seems that the venue has changed on the FIRST website to the Delta Center, which is the huge convention center a block down from the US Cellular Area. Any confirmation on this?

Looking forward to a rockin' stadium in March!

.........3 spots remaining...........

Re: 2013 Wisconsin Regional

I have always felt Wisconsin was underrated in terms of how deep the event is. With 2826 finally being recognized nationally and outside teams like 16, 71 and 111, this year's Wisconsin finally has the elite top teams to match its depth and get some more people paying attention to the many solid teams in the state. I cannot wait!

Re: 2013 Wisconsin Regional

Wow, I never expected Bomb Squad to come up to WI for a regional, it will be cool to have them here. I'm also hoping that King Tec is able to get one of the remaining spots, seeing as they don't have a 2nd regional yet.


After the awesome elimination matches last year, I can't wait to see what happens this year. I think this is shaping up to be the strongest field we've ever had!

Re: 2013 Wisconsin Regional

Inconceivable is excited to be making our 4th trip to Milwaukee, after missing the last 2 years!!

We are excited to be seeing old friends and look forward to making new ones. This really looks to be a strong event this year, I'm really surprised that as of now there are only 2 MN teams on the list.

....... 3 spots left ...... who else wants to come play?

Re: 2013 Wisconsin Regional

With Midwest and Razorback both falling on Week 6, Team 16 had to bow out of Midwest and we hoped Wisconsin would attract a lot of the same teams. Looks like it was a good choice.

Re: 2013 Wisconsin Regional

Yeah, when WI and IL aren't on the SAME WEEK we tend to become sister regionals with a lot of the same teams (which I like!)

Hopefully we'll get to play...

EDIT: Ok, we get to play

For those of you who remember the 2530 Inconceivable bots we brought to Milwaukee but haven't seen us since, we've built much better bots the last two years-- a couple of Finalist awards, Engineering Inspiration, Industrial Design, 3rd at State High School Tournament and the only undefeated champ of both of the Minnesota Robotics Invitational held in the last two years.

Re: 2013 Wisconsin Regional

The plot thickens:

It looks like FIRST website lists the Wisconsin Regional as being at the Delta Center.

The US Cellular Arena website lists it as being there.

The Delta Center doesn't have it on their schedule, and has a different event booked that weekend.

The Wisconsin Regional website is not yet updated.

We'll miss being there. Unfortunately, WI was the same weekend as our spring break and the bi-annual band trip (a lot of the team members are in band).

Re: 2013 Wisconsin Regional

I'll try to get a confirmation as to venue today. One of our mentors is a high-ranking tournament official. Until then, I'll defer to the venues' sites.

Re: 2013 Wisconsin Regional

Figured it out. We are at the US Cellular Arena. Wisconsin committee is working to get FIRST's site changed.

Re: 2013 Wisconsin Regional

2826 is just going to have to win Wisconsin with another team this year. Looks like they have plenty of fine teams from which to choose!
