This really makes me sad. Did they even have enough to register for a regional?

For those of you who don't know, team 22 was an awesome team and won national chairmans. They pretty much ran robotics in southern california for a long time.

They did have enough for regestration. Most of Southern California robotics teams owe there team existance to them and all their efforts tring to get FIRST everywhere.

Team 650, Hella's Angels, appears to be absent this year. They will be greatly missed at the St. Louis regional.

Little old Delaware has stayed the same for the past few years with 2 teams but we now have a whole mess of VEX and FLL teams that feed us new students each year due to the very dedicated and hard working people at First State Robotics Inc.

Fortunately, instead of decreasing, the number of teams in Hawaii doubled from last year from two to four teams. Returning are teams #359 (Hawaiian Kids) and #368 (Team Kika Mana), with team #2024 (Waiakea Robotics) returning after a hiatus and rookie team #2090 (PETTronics).

Also, to have a regional next year in Hawaii (shown in this thread), Hawaii must host at least 12 local teams to get the $1 million grant from NASA to fund the regional. Hopefully, this means an increase of over three times the amount of teams from this year.

IL has jumped to 28 teams with the addition of 12 rookie teams. Probably have much thanks to Wildstang for that... Only one loss in 650 that I noticed.*


*Note: I didn't study the IL teams before.
