10 Week period for regionals, therefore more scouting and team building is possible.

Championship: Late April, as always

This way, you get everything, a FIRST off-season, a reasonable build season. time for Animation etc. to do their thing...therefore, having more hands working on the bot. more weeks of regional action, so that scouting is more possible. and have the championship event where it belongs. One thing that would change in my little perfect world. Championship event would be called CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK, starting on monday and ending on saturday. (we need more matches and more room if we are going to grow. the georgia dome can't be our home forever. we need to build a custom FIRST stadium. in Manchester to go along with FIRST Place and the Hall Of Fame.) I can imagine 100,000 people in that stadium, and see millions watching around the world, because, this plan would give more time to Robotics and the Media to expose it.
Actually IM up for this idea. I like the main fact that we have more time and its during a less key season of the school year although marching band takes up alot of time, I think this is a great idea.

I also am up with a summer event for FIRST. A competition on a lower scale with less materials and more limitations that is as intensive but is more lighter on the wallet for some of the other teams I have been talking with on AIM. Also it would give people something to due during the summer, and since most people are not doing anything anyways it would allow more participation and a greater outreach of engineering and science.
