Greater Toronto West Regional

Team 907 will be attending the Greater Toronto West Regional, however we are not officially signed up yet. We have not missed the premier Canadian event since its inception in 2002.

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.

Current team list:

190-American
771
854
886
1075
1310
1334
1404
1503
1547
2185
2634
2935
3560
3571
3705
3739
4152
4343
4497
4595
4659
4688
4704
4716


Rookies are in bold

Re: Greater Toronto West Regional

Though we are not signed up yet either 77WHO?! will be returnign to the Hershey Center once again! and also we are another team that has never missed a regional at the Hershey Center. With Smoky Mountains the same weekend this was almost our first time that we would miss it. However we made the decision to come to GTR over SMR.

We are very proud to be bringing a long a few new rookie teams from the Windsor area. These are the first rookie teams we have ever started, so we are proud of our accomplishment. 1 of our rookies is going to Waterloo because they were unable to make it to GTR West on this weekend.

Teams
4595 - Panthers
4688 - Saints (previous school of FRC Team 776, who competed until 2004)
4716 - Purple Raiders

our 4th team is 4647 - Vista Vortex Competing at Waterloo.

WOHOO, i am so pumped about GTR West.

We also have kept the tradition and not have missed a single regional at Hershey Center. We really wanted to go to Waterloo but the regional is now full :'(

But we are also making some arrangements and there is a possibilty we may go to GTR East.

I think you mean since your teams existence you have never missed one, which since 2007 you have been to all of them. Us and 907, i believe other teams like 188 and 610, have been to every FIRST Robotics Regional that was held at the Hershey Centre. So since 2002 we have always been to the regional there.

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.

Re: Greater Toronto West Regional

Team 1325 has also never missed a GTR west regional (since our founding) and will be returning in 2013!
As for what we have been doing over the summer? We have overhauled our strategy and design methodology and are building a new drive train as we speak .
Good luck to all teams, and we will see you in Mississauga!

We have just finished the CAD for a sheetmetal practice drivetrain that we will be putting together in the coming weeks thanks to our new sheet metal sponsor.

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

Re: Greater Toronto West Regional

Unfortunately Team 1514 the Vikes will not be attending any games this year

But on a side note, one of mentors is going to try and learn Labview so when the team starts back up their will be someone on the team that can help us poor students out.

Re: Greater Toronto West Regional

GTR needs more American teams.
It's too great a regional not to have more American teams come and witness how awesome a regional it is.
