So true......132 from Texas and 30 teams from Louisiana.

One district event around NOLA and another by Lake Charles would work well to bring in a mix of teams...might as well through in the southern Mississippi teams as well.

Oh cool rank 12.

[Michael Blake]

3481 being ranked 11th of 132 after 1 and 2/3 regionals without a working shooter, we're pleased.

Since we've got the "firing" mechanism now worked-out (THANKS 359 Hawaiian Kids/Uncle Mel and NASA machine shop and 148 Robowranglers/VEXPro for the parts) I think with tuning and practice over the next 2 weeks we'll be able to improve our ranking.

Looking forward to slamming it hard at Lone Star!!

I agree. I think including Louisiana and Mississippi with Texas would work great. There's already going to have to be a lot of driving just in Texas for the districts, why not add a few hours to Nola or L.C.?

By that logic why don't we also include Arkansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico also... One of the major points of districts is to get local teams talking and playing more with each other in order to strengthen a the teams in the area. For a state this size it makes sense just to make it TX and have a TX state championship.

If teams still want to go play in other states and areas, nothing prevents teams from doing it. How many teams from Mississippi and Louisiana come to Texas events already (not many)?

2011:
Dallas - 3666

2012:
Lone Star - 364, 1818, 3337
Alamo - 2080

2013:
Lone Star - 3666, 3672

2014:
Alamo - 3337
Dallas - 3616


4 teams from LA/MS just came back from Orlando and 3 teams went to Arkansas. (We're also making the hike to OKC next week). What's to say that teams won't travel if they have the opportunity to go to multiple events for $5000 and 3 for $6000. Just thinking out loud here.

Right it's only 2 from Houston to L.C. and 5 from Houston to NOLA. Whereas it's 6 from Lubbock to Austin (good location for TX Champ.)

I would love to be on the other side of this issues but I'm not. When Texas goes to districts it's going to have to be only Texas teams. Our goal is grow the program and if we succeed we would need to split the district in a few years anyway. It doesn't make much sense to set up an infrastructure that we are just going to abend once we get to many teams. Yes I'm going to miss competing at Bayou but we can still trade volunteers and eventually FRC will have interdistrict play. We'll just have to wait a few years.

Yeah, I have to agree with you. FRC in Texas is simply different than Louisiana and Mississippi. With the number of teams growing rapidly, soon to reach the multiple hundreds and having 4 regionals, it's time for you all to branch off and grow your own state league. Honestly, if we were to bring our robot to Lone Star this year, it would be like throwing it to the wolves. Eventually, the districts will reach us all and hopefully Louisiana and Mississippi will give rise to teams like the Robowranglers, Texas Torque, Robonauts, and so forth. All the gracious profesionalism will be greatly missed, including team 3847.
I guess it's just a part of FIRST growing up.

Come to think of it, there is nothing stopping Texas teams from playing at Bayou once we move to districts. I imagine you will still get some Texas alliance members in the future.

Sure hope so. We said at some point our team would make it to a Texas regional, but as for now our dreams are delayed. But hey, there's always RedStick Rumble, and we might even journey out to the Texas Robot Roundup over the summer.

Yeah competition is tough in Texas......we need to ramp up the competition in Louisiana. There's only 3 teams north of Lafayette....it's rough up here.

Anyone know what the horizontal line in the middle of the rankings is for?
