Come on over... us Floridians would love to play with great teams like you.

VCU is first weekend of March

Peachtree tends to be the third week but it might change this year.

[Rohith Surampudi]

Sorry about that, 75 is considering attending the regional, no decisions have been made yet. We must examine our finances and schedule, and team preferences before we can make that decision.

But Florida would be fun ... or any regional for that matter

Sources have it that Palmetto will once again happen on Week 5 in 2007, March 29-31. Still at the Colonial Center, still (in my opinion) the best regional in the South (sorry, Floridians ), still anticipating a mess of Jersey teams (who seem to do well at Palmetto, see also 11 and 1676), and still waiting on some Canadians to cross the border and come get some sweet tea and pulled pork .

The largest and best, Canada's Super Regional is always week 5. I believe that all Canadian teams seem to go to the GTR. You know what I say is true if you watched this years web cast.

Any word on when the schedule of regionals and other deadlines will be announced?

Our mentors are meeting tonight to discuss plans for the year. Last year at this time we had not only the general schedule, but the actual regional schedule as well. This year at the same time, we have neither .

From Chief Delphi and other sources I believe that:

Registration deadlines, kickoff, and ship date will be similar to previous years.

Regionals are Week 1: March 1-3 through Week 5: March 29-31 (NYC and Israel will probably vary from the Thu-Sat schedule)

Championship is April 12-14 in Atlanta.

Of the Midwest regionals Boilermaker is week 3 and West Michigan will likely be week 5.

Any word on Midwest, Milwaukee, Great Lakes, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis?

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

[Conor Ryan]

Ok so I put all the dates listed into a nifty little chart thats easier to read, remember nothing here is set in stone, with the exception of the championship, which pasted on a search of the FIRST website, is confirmed several times, anywho, I'm looking forward to a great season and some fun trips!

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.
