Current Districts Map. Who is next?

I think that South Carolina will go district in the next few years because about 8-10 North Carolina team where going there and they are not now because North Carolina is district

It's not the 5th MN regional, otherwise it'd be in Minnesota *in Minnesotan accent*. I have a feeling that the Iowa regional will draw some power house teams from across the country, and will primarily end up being a regional for IL, IA, WI, MO, MN, and maybe NE for it's centralized location. Also, I would kinda doubt that it is going to be primarily minnesotans. We have quite a few places (Rockwell Collins, John Deere, etc) that have lots of volunteers in FIRST and I would imagine send over to help out.

PS while you're here, you can visit the ORIGINAL place in Waterloo where John Deere first started

I think what Jajabinx124 meant was that a lot of the MN leadership worked hard to get the Iowa Regional started, rather than focusing on starting a 5th Regional within MN.

This has been said about 50 times in this thread, but I'll always be voting for California to go into districts sooner than later.

Don't mean to nitpick here, but FYI Nebraska doesn't have any FRC teams.
