That could be REALLY bad for all of the Illinois Team Juniors... The Prairie State Achievement Exams are that week... For all of you from other states those are the mandatory ACTs and the tests for No Child Left Behind...

Not to mention it pushes championships back to the week before AP testing. That would be bad news for many students.

Back on topic about the Milwaukee Regional. Apparently FIRST and the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) have been having discussions on hosting a regional as soon as 2006. Last I heard FIRST and MSOE were working out venue and financing issues.

Hopefully it will happen.

I would be up for a Milwaukee regional. I think it would be one heck of a fun time. Just as long as it isn't on BMR weekend it shouldn't really affect my team that much. We vote for the regionals we attend, and Milwaukee would probably get pushed into the final few to choose from. Even if we couldn't go as a team, I would think about going with out my team.

It'd be nice to have a regional so close to home ... I wouldn't have to rent a hotel room at all!
