A few of these teams could just be dropping out of FRC for unrelated reasons, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these teams are on the NYC waitlist right now and will end up at HVR for their only event.

I was told 375 is dropping out because their mentor retired and they cannot find another one.

Now that 2nd reg has opened, both Tech Valley and Hudson Valley have filled to their preliminary limits, here's the list of NY based 2016 Tech Valley teams not confirmed to return. (Edited to include status as provided in the thread)

229 - Potsdam, NY (Waitlisted for TVR)
250 - Colonie, NY
333 - Brooklyn, NY
358 - Hauppauge, NY
371 - Staten Island, NY
527 - Massapequa, NY
1450 - Rochester, NY
1551 - Naples, NY
2791 - Latham, NY (Waitlisted for TVR)
3003 - Canandaigua, NY
3044 - Ballston Spa, NY
3419 - New York, NY
3624 - Huntington Station, NY
4093 - Orleans County, NY
4856 - New York, NY
4930 - Buffalo, NY
5254 - Trumansburg, NY (Waitlisted for TVR)

16 Teams in all.

Of those teams, 1450 registered for NY Finger Lakes, 3419 has 2 registrations (NYC, HVR), and 4930 has 2 registrations (Finger Lakes and Buckeye). While it's possible for 3419 to also attend Tech Valley, it's statistically unlikely as it would be a 3rd regional, while 1450 and 4930 cannot due to conflicts with Finger Lakes.

Current registration limit at NYTR is 21 of 36 hard cap, leaving 15 spots open with 14 teams from last year still able to join the waitlist (if not already on it).

229 is already on the waitlist.

I'm 90% sure 2791 is on the TVR waitlist. Considering the regional is less than five miles from the school, I really do think they will be one of the 15 or so teams let in from the waitlist.

I would not expect 4930, 5254, or 1405 to return. They're probably FLR teams.

I'm 100% sure

I'm excited to be attending the Tech Valley (most likely) and New York City Regionals with 2791!

FWIW, 333 is registered for NYC.

Happy to confirm - 4930 will (sadly) have to pass up TVR for FLR this year, with Buckeye as our second and only other regional.

Wishing you the best of luck this year. 3044 will miss playing with you at regionals, but at least we have Rah Cha Cha!

Team 2869 is really excited to be competing at HVR and SBPLI this year.

Its the first time in our teams history 8 year history where we have the chance to attend 2 regionals. Really excited to compete with teams like 20, 3044, and 5254 for the first time.

Cannot wait to see who joins us at HVR and can especially not wait to get these events underway.

Congratulations on being able to attend 2 regionals! I remember the first time that happened for us in 2014, and we were so excited. It really makes all the difference. Looking forward to playing with you at HVR!

I'm happy to see that Regal Eagles is going to attend 2 regionals, and in the same 2 of us. Playing two events really changes the experience.

Se you in both HVR and SBPLI!

[Conor Ryan]

4571 is waitlisted for HVR. We plan on trying to help recruit volunteers for the new event.

[jayred1127]

How long do you guys think it will take HVR to let teams off of the waitlist?

And if a team does not get into HVR what are some good alternatives? Maybe Ohio?
