Re: Small Regionals

Speaking of small regionals, the Waterloo regional seems to be in need of a few teams. I believe that the minimum for a regional would be 24 teams. Right now they are a little short. I know the team putting together this regional and what a great job they are doing. If there are some teams looking for a third regional Waterloo is the place to be. It won't be a cakewalk to win though. It seems that it's a who's who of Canadian teams and Team 1188 from the US. Let's make this regional go.

I'll be there, hope to see you there too.

Re: Small Regionals

I'm not sure how big the Buckeye regional is but i'd imagine that its a bit bigger because its a Nasa Sponsored one. With experiments that work!

Re: Small Regionals

I've always been a big fan of small regionals. When you spend 6 weeks building a robot, it's nice to get as many matches in as possible. Along with this benefit, these small regionals have a real community feel. You get to know all the teams and volunteers pretty well. We went to Pittsburgh last season (34-36 Teams), and we had an amazing time.

For those teams still considering doing another event, give small events like Arizona and Waterloo a look.
