What are the Dates for the Various Regionals for 2007?

[Mark Garver]

Received this email today from Ian McEwan, FIRST Regional Director:

Mark, the 'list' is available, last year plus Kansas City, New Orleans
and San Diego. But I suspect that you mean when will the dates be
available?
That will be next week. We have two contracts from venues we still have
to receive so that we are absolutely sure and then we will post them.
Regards Ian

I'm watching Spike Lee's very powerful documentary on hurricane Katrina an dit's aftermath and reading numerous stories on the excrutiating slow recovery.
How in the world is New Orleans going to be ready to host a robotics region when only 29% of it's school are open and so many neighborhood are still piles of rubble?

Well, you've got to start somewhere. Perhaps robotics is where.

By the blood, sweat & tears of some dedicated people? I have to admire the folks in New Orleans and at Tulane [their site] who are rebuilding their city and school and putting the Bayou Regional together. It seems to me to be the kind of uplifting event the city needs. The tourism revenue probably doesn't hurt, either!

Hmm... two weeks after Mardi Gras - there should still be plenty of beads decorating the trees!

For 2007, St. Louis will be Week 1, March 1-3.

I've also heard that New Jersey, NASA/VCU, BAE/GSR, and possibly Pacific Northwest will be Week 1 -- those were the Week 1 events in 2006.

New York City Regional at the Javits Convention Center:
March 16th (Friday), March 17th (Saturday), and March 18th (Sunday)





It should be amazing! Please, seriously consider coming to NYC! If it's successful, we may even go for a two-field mega-regional in 2008.

Chesapeake Regional, (the bring your own food, the prettiest view at a robotics venue, the only regional held on a military installation, and last year was nicknamed the "jet lag regional"...where the navy guards actually crack a smile each time they look at my "friends of the Academy pass" which has my car tag listed and say "Have a good day robomom, m’am)
Week 3
March 15-17, 2006
Annapolis, Maryland at the US Naval Academy
64 teams

Some of the data suggests it's still work-in-progress at this time, though. The Bayou regional is listed to be in Manchester and Waterloo is running March 22-29.
