• The regional will almost certainly take place at ECAV on RPI's campus. (It's worth noting that since Week 3 is over spring break, the parking lots around BARH and Stackwyck will be more open, allowing for plenty of parking)
• Venue cost is donated by RPI (woo!)

Tech Valley Regional is a great name in my opinion. I sounds like it will be cramped which is unfortunate. Its great that there will be another regional in NY.

On another note, off topic I know, does anyone know what regionals if any will be closing with the advent of the NE District System? I've heard rumors that the Pine Tree Regional would close but I have seen anything offical from FIRST or another official source that confirms any regionals to be closed as of next year.
