Go to Post First of all, please remember that while we often focus on winning the Chairman's Award, that it is the effort to win that matters. No one "loses" RCA... if you've worked your butt off all year in the spirit of the award, then you've already won before you even get to the regional. - dtengineering [more]

The last two years of FIRST events in the Twin Cities have not been during the UMN Spring Break. This years events are not over break either. Are you sure that the CSE Dean does not get them for free as long as they don't interfere with Hockey and Basketball Schedules?

You may be correct. Which is why they are often on Easter weekend, perhaps.

I've never gotten a solid answer, but I believe the deal is actually that the regionals get the venues for the price that a UMN department would get them for (or close). I am fairly certain they are not free.

Re: FRC Blogged - ‘Hockey State’? Not so fast….

133-136 one frisbee decided the match. When the score disappeared at the end of the match it looked like blue alliance won but when the score was counted red alliance had won.

I bet if red didn't play any defense, they wouldn't have won. Just goes to show you how important defense is this year.
