New Regionals in 2008

[Andrew Schuetze]

I would presume that FIRST and the various regional event directors will schedule the multiple events in a region to not coincide so that teams can attend two regionals without the travel issues as already mentioned.

The Oklahoma event comes at the right time as the Toltechs are just now looking at doing two regionals and championship if we win. We have been fortunate to win our way and pay our way to Atlanta and then travel this year without a robot to Atlanta.

Our plans are to attend the OK regional early in the season and then continue to compete in the Lone Star regional. I expect that a significant number of the LSR teams will do the OK regional with another portion going back to the New Orleans event. It will be nice to compete against some of those Kansas teams that have ventured south to Houston in the past.

Along that line, we need a new regional in Central our South Texas. I so want to make that happen but need to make lots more $$$ contacts. The small step forward was hosting the local Kick-off here in San Antonio.
