Like most regionals, there is still planning going on. We are trying to get answers to many of these questions.

We are expecting to be able to have a webcast. Check http://www.midwestfirst.org - we will keep the site updated with information as it becomes available.

Now that we are a couple days away, who do YOU think will win the 2005 MWR? I personally think 108, 269, 383 possibly. I think they would make a dominating alliance. So, who do you think?

[Gamer930]

Midwest Regional will be a very interesting regional. There are several teams that we haven't seen and couple of teams that we know will make improvements *cough* 71, 79, 111, 108 *cough* Very hard to may any predictions.
I saw this just now on midwestfirst.org. Passing it on to others.

Midwest Regional Teams,

The competition is only a couple of days away, and are looking forward to a great regional. Here is some logistical information regarding parking, unloading your vehicles and the machine shop:

Parking:
Since we will be in downtown Chicago, parking is at a premium, but we will have a few conveniently located parking lots in which to park our vehicles. Unfortunately, there will be a parking fee, but we have negotiated the price down to $7 per car, and $10 per bus or trailer.

There are two parking lots for the cars; one is in a multi-story parking structure next to the Pavilion, and the other is across the street. There will be signs to help you find these.

For buses and trailers, there is a parking lot (Lot 11) just beyond the multi-story parking structure.

These lots are all within walking distance.

Unloading People:
For unloading people from buses, teams can do this on Racine Avenue, just in front of the Pavilion.

Unloading Equipment:
For unloading equipment from vehicles, Congress Street will be closed off in back of the Pavilion. (This street faces the expressway.)

Machine Shop:
Comau Pico is once again supplying a mobile machine shop, for repair work that you may need done. This will be located in a truck, just outside the Pavilion building.

We'll see you in a couple of days.

Midwest Regional Committee

They occasionally have the left side of the field in a "picture in picture" type setup with it in the lower left corner.
