No more dragging toolboxes through the mud and snow! No more watching the screen to see how your team is doing because you're too short (like me) to see the action on the stage! Queuing should be improved. The public should be able to enter without going through the pits. Easy on and off two interstate highways. Hope to see lots of you in March at the new venue for the UTC New England Regional!

UTC is the place to be for 2006!

The new Connecticut Convention Center, where the UTC New England Regional will be this year, is awesome. I was also there recently for 3 days this past month with KathieK, and the new venue is great. Can you say huge? There is indoor parking, a huge space for a FRC and Vex Regional at the same time, brand new hotels right in downtown Hartford (including one attached to the new CTCC), loading docks right next to the pits, no ramps to get onto the playing field anymore, and of course, a beautiful convention center.

Did anyone else see the Teams Pending Column on here is it new or I've ignored it before. Well according to that 1 Team is pending to go to Rochester, bringing the FLR total to 19

And So far only 2 teams are registered for Atlanta that are eligable, 16 and 842, but 33 Teams are pending registration. good luck to all

Currently 739 Regional Registrations are in Yay!

I'm not positive but I suspect it may be related to the new payment policy:
"FOR ADDITIONAL EVENTS & THE CHAMPIONSHIP"

For 2006 any team interested in participating in an additional Regional Event or the Championship will not be registered for the event until FIRST Finance receives an acceptable form of payment. (Please see what are the FIRST Acceptable Forms of Payment Section below.)

When a team selects an additional event and/or the Championship - the team's selection will be put on hold pending receipt of the FIRST acceptable form of payment (see below). Once FIRST Finance has received an acceptable payment for your team, we will move the team's event selection from "hold - pending payment" status to officially registered for such event.

This new policy will ensure that all teams registered for additional Regional Events and the Championship will be fully funded.
