Can't wait for GTR West and Waterloo this year! They're gonna be great!

EDIT: neither 610 or 188 have been to every GTR event at the Hershey centre.

781 had a good run at the Hershey Centre for the first 10 years, but wasn't there in 2012.

GTR-West is at the top of FRC 2656's list for a second Regional. We currently don't have the funding, but the kids are working hard on it. We'd LOVE to come to Canada for this event.

[If we do get the funding, we'd like to talk to teams that cross the border about logistics. Not sure what all we need as far as passports and/or other regulations.]

There was a recent thread made about crossing the border.

If you need anymore help you could PM me. We cross the border at least once every year for Competitions

Thanks Aaron! We'll keep that in mind if we can rustle up the funding.

Sure hope you make it! Hopefully it will be as good if not better than last years! With 1114 and 2056 against each other it sure was an amazing event to attend!

rookie team 4817 is from Singapore

[2185Bilal]

Because of all this Union Strikes in Ontario many teams are not going to competitions in Ontario. So I am pretty sure many teams from Ontario are not going. This is will make this years's season not as fun and exciting as last year

Which Teams are going

[whattsheorder]

Team 1547 will be there despite the strike!

As will 3756! We have attended the Waterloo regional the past two years, but are swapping to GRT West this year so that we can go with one of our rookie teams (who we are also sharing work space with due to the strikes).
I will most likely be attending Waterloo to help along our other rookie team as well, so I will get to be in on the action at both competitions!

Being a private school, are Trafalgar Castle's teachers even subject to the strike?

I would expect 1547 to participate even if they were, but I'm pretty sure this is a public sector battle that won't affect the private school teams (like 1547, 610, and the now defunct 2361) at all, no?

Lost 4497, now registered for Western Canada

[2185Bilal]

Team 2185 will be attending the Greater Toronto West Regional. We have not missed the premier Canadian event since our inception in 2007. We are pumped to see all the beautiful teams from Canada and the States

I know of quite a few more teams planning to join us at the Hershey Center, including at least 1 more American team, but I'll let them release that on their own accord.

Fun fact: This regional has had 3 different names in its history. 2002 and 2003 it was called the Canadian Regional, but in 2004 Waterloo was added, so it changed to the Greater Toronto Regional. In 2011, a double regional took place, so the event was renamed as the Greater Toronto East and Greater Toronto West regionals. In 2012, GTR East split off and is now its own regional in Oshawa, hence the current Greater Toronto West Regional. (Copied from Gregor )

SO wHO ELSE IS COMING OUT
