Midwest Regional

[Richard Wallace]

Looks like a great field shaping up for the 2008 Midwest Regional. And it appears to be filling fast -- may actually be full as of today.

Based on history there should be lots of power there: 33, 48, 71, 111, 1114, 1625, and the list goes on.

Looks like it filled up at 34 teams sometime this evening. Team 1114 is very excited about making our first trip to the Midwest Regional. As Richard described, the team list is rather impressive. We're hoping we can add a Canadian flair to what will be an amazing event. I can't wait.

Uh oh... I wonder where 648 was when they decided which regionals they were going to attend... Unfortunately, I have nothing to do with this debacle. I haven't been to a meeting since earlier this summer. This will also be the first Midwest Regional I've missed since joining an FRC team in 2002. Looks like a lot of fun...

1114 will be joined by 2 other Canadian teams - 843 out of Oakville, ON and 2386, rookies out of Burlington, ON.

I'm happy to see fellow Buckeye Team 1038 joining us at the event.

Team 48 is looking forward to Midwest and a visit to the city of Chicago - first time attending since way back in 1999.

Thats rough, we were hoping to go to Midwest this year as well, but I guess we made a mistake in registering for our hometown regional first.

[Pat Fairbank]

I'm hoping to be able to get out of enough classes to go and spectate/hang out with 1114. I've never been to Chicago, and it seems like it's going to be quite the event.

[Jeremiah Johnson]

I think I just may make the trip up to Chi-town to watch/volunteer this one... worry free, even.

1024's first time in the Midwest regional... See you all there!

Hmmm..... but I wonder what the game is going to be...

1038 is very excited to head back to the Windy City for what looks to be an amazing line-up of teams. It's nice that we can spend some quality FIRST time with all of our friends again.

You didn't get into Detroit, either. See you at Great Lakes.

I saw this list and my jaw dropped.

We volunteer at detroit EVERY year since it started. Thats what i meant by that.
When detroit and Midwest have been on the same weekend since '06, we havnt been able to do midwest because we volunteer

If things go as planned I'll be able to volunteer at this event!
This regional looks extremely exciting this year, hopefully I'll be able to make it.
