Re: 2016 regional dates?
When I was calling hotels to book a block for Duluth, they told me the Duluth events would be Mar 3-6 (which is week 1 again). I don't know how official that is, but they told me that after I tried to hold a block for the week before (which would be the down week after stop-build since I didn't realize kickoff was moved to the 9th).

Looking at the bright side: All other week 1 events just got an upgrade. All the FRC tracking applications just got another scenario to track. The bag and tag seal will be extra fresh. Should get good FRC community exposure on the webcast. In reality, it was the better deal to handle venue scheduling conflicts. I hope the event will still be attractive to teams outside of SC.

Does this mean there will be 8 weeks of pre-championship competition now instead of 7? I would hate to go to the new week 1. |

http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...metto-Regional Honestly, since teams have never had that large of turnaround, I wonder if FIRST would consider letting those teams not bag their robots. Having only a day to work on spares and other stuff seems like those teams would be getting screwed more then normal. Not requiring bag for only those teams could be a nice way to increase the fairness. Last edited by Thad House : 13-07-2015 at 13:55. |

Poor Ohio and Canadian teams would have to bag their robot and immediately get on the bus to make it in time! |

As a team leader operating without the benefit of even field trip status, I am incredibly relieved to see Palmetto back on a Thursday/Friday/Saturday schedule.Quote:

Spare-making and all that isn't ideal, but having done Week 1 for the past three years: we are usually so tired/burnt out/behind on other work that we don't go back into the shop for most of that time except to clean up and pack the trailer. This change doesn't really change much. I think Week 0 Palmetto creates a unique opportunity for district teams, if they can manage the logistics. If you go to Palmetto and win, you have the most time of anyone in FIRST (save for pre-qualified teams) to make Championship travel plans. If you go to Palmetto and tank, you go into district play with everything shaken down. |

Re: 2016 regional dates?
It's a loophole that they take advantage of. It aint their fault. FIRST could easily put a stop to it but they don't so it is what it is.
