I heard between 31 and 33 regionals next year, which means that there are still regionals that people haven't "heard" about.

It makes absolutely no sense to have a regional in Calgary, Alberta, seeing that there are no Canadian teams west of Ontario, which is almost 1000 miles away, and the US border is about 200 miles away. Must just be a crazy rumour.

Its not official yet, but my source (who I will not reveal still) is well almost as high as I can get (no it wasn't Dean or Woodie), but he/she ranks up there. They said that it very possible for this event to happen next year

A rumor I heard is that the BAE Regional might come to UNH and be held at the Whittemore Center on the UNH campus. The Whittemore Center is a big enough place where definitely they can hold a regional so I hope this rumor is true.

Note the British/Canadian spelling of 'rumour'. The vBulletin Spell Check does not recognize it.

Give Calgary a chance. It was mentioned as a possibility yesterday in Toronto. FIRST is on fire in Canada. In the past two years we've grown from having three teams to about 40! I heard yesterday that the Canadian Regional was the fastest growing of all regionals. If the competition can spread from Ontario and Quebec to Labrador City, Newfoundland (out east, population 9 000, 676 miles by road from the nearest Canadian team in Montréal) then it is certainly possible to establish it in the Prairies.

And while we're on the topic:

Team 1146, Menihek HS, from Labrador City, deserves our recognition. Their kit of parts arrived a week late, and their robot was broken during shipping to Toronto. Nevertheless, they overcame these difficulties to win a Judges' Award, and have succeeded in pioneering FIRST robotics in eastern Canada.

(BTW guys - you left one of your batteries at the Regional.)

And DJ: If I am guessing correctly, then this certain 'high ranking official' that you mentioned was in Toronto over the weekend.

Lightbulb new regional

A new regional makes sense if it does one of two things. First, allows teams from different areas to travel to a central location for competition. Second, opens up new areas to FIRST who otherwise might not get new teams into the mix. How about an upper Midwest regional in Minneapolis, Mn., Omaha, Nebraska, or Brookings, SD? Teams from this area have tremendous travel issues to get even to a close Regional is a 14 -20 hour trip.
Just a thought.
