Tech Tigers will be there! Yea 233 is goin to Colorado since it is sponsored by NASA, the rest of that allience i dunno. Regardless it should be a great regional cuase those so much competiton. By the way good luck to 1523 the new rookie team started by Children of the Swamp. Good luck too all the teams. Can't wait.

It looks like somebody finally caught on. We plan on taking the same risk we did last year. If anybody recalled, Team #233 signed up for our first regional at New York. Then for our second regional we signed up for UCF (even though we attended UCF before going to NY).

This year we plan on going to Colorado; we wanted to go last year, but decided not to for some odd reason. And we hope that we will make it to the UCF regional as our second regional.

Also keep in mind that Team #311, the Red Jammers, are from New Jersey, and Team #1144, Coquitron, are from Puerto Rico. So as you can see, it may be difficult for them to come back, but you never know!

I cannot wait for the UCF Regional this year. I also think a lot of other teams are going to notice us more this year than last year. Thanks for the kind comments as well, and hope to see you guys there!

Notice you MORE? What did you do, somehow get a traveling circus to sponsor you and will be attending all your regionals? Besides that, I really dont see how you could get noticed more.

Wow, I need to work on my pronouns. When I meant by us, I meant all the teams competing at the Florida Regional (people will notice the regional as a whole), not Team #233. I am really sorry if my statement sounded arrogant; it was not what I was going for. My apologizes.

We (233) are now signed up for the UCF regional.

Does anyone know the status of Team 1062, Celebration? When I checked yesterday, they were not signed up for UCF.

The team list doesn't show you yet - are you waitlisted?

Well, I thought we were signed up for UCF, but I guess we're not. I'll try to find out what's up from our team administrators.

We are signed up for Denver.

[Robotics Dude]

yes the rumors are true we at 311 are not returning because the school board cut our funding

[Tytus Gerrish]

um... FCAT week is the same as the reigonal, Has this occured to anyone?

[Arefin Bari]

Tytus, it was the same way last year. the students on the team were excused and had parents permission to make it up at some point of time when they get back from the regional.

Of course that all depends on what your school says. Each team should look into if this is going to bring up any issues.

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

Yes, it's a lot of fun going to UCF. I mean a 26.5hr bus ride is so awsome with all your friends on it. To bad since I graduated I have to fly down =(. Hopefully we will have the same luck as we did last year. UCF is definatly the best regional out there!

[Andrew Rudolph]

Less teams is a good thing....at least for parking. The big parking lot to the left of the arena is no more, they are building somthing there, i hear housing, so now the majority of people are going to have to park in the garages across the street.

[Barry Bonzack]

It is December 5 and 1604 is still only on the waitlist for UCF. Should I be getting worried? I know that three teams have made it into the regional since this thread has opened (each with their own legitimate reasons for being allowed in I'm sure), but I'm starting to get concerned.
