2016 Duluth Regional Discussion

[Zach101]

Personally I was surprised to see so many teams not at northern lights that have been power house teams in previous years such as 2175, 2169, 27, 525, 3130 etc. I feel like Duluth is going to be real fun this year and cant wait till next week.

I cant speak for all teams, but at least for us and 3130 based on the wait list it was much more likely for us to get into the Iowa regional. We love going to Duluth every year and the venue is one of the best in all of FRC but we look forward to getting to go to the inaugural Iowa Regional.

The Iowa regional really attracted some of the powerhouses that usually went to the duluth regionals.

Edit (In response to boe's post):
Yeah..registering for both the duluth regionals is beginning to get tougher and tougher as FRC in MN grows.

I think my alma mater wanted to compete later in the season just to get a feel for the game and make any necessary adjustments before their first comp. Week one was rough for us last year .
