Well, most teams have 10+ kids. So I'm guessing 50-100 teams. They had no problem doing 50ish teams last weekend, so I think they could do it. Especially if they did two divisions.

EDIT: Jason has a much better answer..... Let the page sit for a while before replying, didn't see those new post...

Re: INAUGURAL VEX ROBOTICS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP COMPETITION ANNOUNCED
So the event starts tomorrow. Who will be attending this event? I was curious seeing no one has really been discussing it..
I'll be stopping by Saturday before work, seeing I live ridiculously close to the venue.

I will be watching this event via webcast. I like how this event is extremely international (I believe half the teams are international team). Go Canada and China!

It's ONE WEEK too early. Otherwise I would be there (assuming no other commitments). Something about the weekend before finals...

Better than the middle of APs in my opinion.

I'm sitting at the airport with a small group of Simbots, bound for LA. We're looking forward to a great weekend of Vex action!

Now I have this mental picture of Karthik at the airport surrounded by Vex robots, all waiting to board the plane. "Bwoo hah hah!" he exclaims. "No one caught on that Simbotics annihilation of FRC was just a diversion to keep the world from seeing my real master plan: truly autonomous Vex robots!" The robots all spin around in gleeful circles, snapping their grippers and juggling balls.

LA had better watch out.
