2005 Florida reigonal

[Tytus Gerrish]

i was just looking thru the team list check out the last team on this list http://www.usfirst.org/frc/map/FMPro...-max=all&-find

and i noticed that 168, and 147 aren't on it.

are they not competing or did they just not get in to the regional?

According to this list, they haven't registered for the upcoming season yet...

I am very much hoping I can have a team started in time to make it on that list.

it isn't that shocking to see some teams go....the statistics on Florida teams are much more freightening than one would like to believe....statistically we were only supposed to have a net loss of 4 teams this year....unfortunately the hurricanes may have affected the teams more adversely than I originally thought....

Florida teams registered Only 27....hopefully that will come up a bunch

With the Florida Regional full - here's some things I take away:

1) Only 35 slots versus 41 in attendance last year.

2) 24 teams returning, 11 new teams, 17 not returning

3) The entire 2004 Florida Regional Finalist Alliance (233, 311, 1144) not returning

4) The entire 2004 Florida Regional Champions Alliance (61, 386, 945) is returning to defend their title (Thanks for making the long haul Mike Norton)

5) 342/343 coming again (woohoo! Missed you guys last year) plus Cutting Edge returning - South Carolina well represented

6) 10 teams from out of state, including California and Montana! Cool!

Looks like a great event

Well, since starting a new job this past summer as a lighting programmer for the Univision television network, I no longer have the time to continue working with team 168 (in fact, this is the first time I've been on CD in a few months, I'm sitting in the control room waiting to start taping), and as such, no one that I know of has picked up the slack, and I do not know what the status of the team is this year.

3) The entire 2004 Florida Regional Finalist Alliance (233, 311, 1144) not returning

So what happened to these guys? The first time I saw this post, 233 was on the list, now they're gone? And 311??? I always look forward to seeing what 233 creates, they've got to be one of - if not the best fabrication/design teams out there. Not to mention best spirit every year. Probably best strategy and drive team. Then they have like 7 lego teams and on and on.....

I wish our team could come to florida, but i think its a bit far for us to go... Being in Michigan and all. Hope that in future years we can have the means to go to such good regionals

[Andrew Rudolph]

Wow there are like what 2 rookies at UCF this year, man this is gonna be an intense competion

[pakrat]

The more rookies the better, they always think of the things that we dont

Take 1241 for example, from canada.

[Arefin Bari]

I havent seen team 86 on there... are they returning?

I would hate to see Florida regional lose a great alliance...

[Tytus Gerrish]

YAY! 1523 the rookie team that we helped Spawn
