Yeah, I have no idea what that is.

Two regionals in Manchester? Is there any other city that has multiple regionals?

While some of the dates are right, I don't beleive any of the team capacities are correct. Chesepeake, for example, what stated in another thread to be accepting 64 teams, while this states 54. VCU had 64 teams last year, this says 54 again. GTR had 74, this says 70. Etc.

And yes, the Bayou regional is really in New Orleans, NOT New Hampshire...

FIRST practically always reserves capacity for late registering teams, NASA grant winners and the like.

Bah going to these forums makes me want to skip like 3 or 4 months. >.< I need to build something!

Hey are the dates for the Las Vegas Regionals correct now?

[ChrisH]

The Los Angeles Regional will be held at the Los Angeles Sports Arena, not the Great Western Forum. The Los Angeles Forum does not exist. We have used both in different years so somebody is confused.

[Steve W]

As was stated earlier, the amount of teams does not match last year. The reason is that every regional holds back a certain number of spots. These are for rookie teams or special circumstance teams. If they spots are not taken by a certain date, TBD, then they are added to the available later on. That is the reason that your team should go on a waiting list for events that you would like to attend.

On another thought, I heard that there were going to be other Super Regionals this year but only GTA is listed with 2 fields. Has anyone heard of any others?

[Marcel]

Dual-wielding field regionals! o.o

Nope haven't heard any such rumors. But I have heard that there's this competition called the First Robotics Competition, it has something to do with robots, flying balls, and donuts. Meh I'm hyper, I'm going to run laps around my neighborhood or something.

[Dylan]

The GLR looks right...

First day of competition on my birthday, can't think of better way to spend it!


Has the 2007 Championship location been finalized, or will it be somewhere other than ATL?

Hopefully in the next 3 years (before i graduate) it will go to Los Angeles or New York!

I believe that Atlanta has signed a 3-4 year agreement with FIRST - so, no change until then.

[Nica F.]

wow the LA regional is earlier this year. it was held at the LA sports arena 3 years ago right?

[Dylan]

Yay, Atlanta again!

Personally, I loved ATL. The weather was nice, the pit and field were awesome, and even the 12hr bus ride was kinda fun.

Plus... if 1549 makes it to Nat's in '07, I'm gonna try my cart party idea again!
Now with better songs, more splitters (up to 5 carts can be hooked to my iPod now), a signal booster, more patients on my part, and we would definitely bring our cart this time!
