Oh, so unless the team in 2011 and the team in 2013 didn't qualify it's never happened recently.

Both the 6-event teams included a Championship visit.

• 2011 was Team 141

• 2013 was Team 3314

It hasn't happened since FRC started in 1992.

FRC hasn't always had 6 weeks of competition (for example, in 2000 there were 4 weeks of regionals followed by champs)... Since they started having regionals that qualify for champs, has there ever been a team that competed every week? So in 2000 that would be 4 regionals + champs for a total of 5 weeks.

I can't imagine it being feasible for a team with a budget of under $100,000 per year, as well as needing a school dedicated to FRC. On top of that having mentors as a paid position would be almost necessary since 3-4 days a week off from a job for 6 weeks plus championships is basically impossible. If such a team existed I would love to be on it, but it will take a lot of development in the FRC world before that becomes possible.

2012 I did:

Orlando - RI
South Florida
CVR - RI/Judge
MAR CMP - RI
CMP - FLL Judge

Without much problem from from my full time job. My health, however, was a different story. Working 40 hours in 3 days followed by 3 days of regionals and a day of traveling was brutal on my health.

I did 17 events last year.
think the problem of teams doing events week after week after week is missing so much school as much as it is financially difficult. Plus the robot will eventually break down from so much action.

I did do a NY State FTC qualifier as well.

I thought there would be 5 or more non-FRC events in there. Padding numbers using FLL is the only way I'd get that high. I'm thoroughly impressed with your total!

So was my accountant come tax time.

With the number of offseason events,

I think all FRC teams should at least do 4 Events.

2 Regional/District Events
2 Offseason FRC events

1 Event per season is not suitable to be competitive in FRC anymore.

I almost ended up @ Las Vegas a couple of years ago but no one responded to my inquiries about my assignment so I switched out for Queen City.
