I believe the largest regional this year is GTR with 65 teams. Following that are VCU (64), NJ (63), NY (63), GLR (63), Connecticut (62), Florida (61), and Wisconsin (60). I may have missed some 60+ team regionals (I only checked ones I thought were likely to have a ton of teams), but I'm pretty certain those are all, or near all, of them. So Wisconsin is only about the 8th largest, but any regional above sixty teams is pretty large, in my opinion. The morals of the story? If you want to go to really big regionals, go east of the Mississippi. And that everything's bigger in Texas Canada.

Yep, I've been to both Texas and Canada. Trust me, everything is bigger in Canada... the snowfall, the country side, the FIRST regionals, the waterfalls, the taxes, the antennas, the oil reserves...

Re: pic: Look what I saw!

Was there a ThunderChicken trailer sighting at the MWR?

Wonder if Paul was just trying to cover up the Sim-Chicken collaboration that we all fear...

There is no Sim-Chicken collaboration (or if there is, you couldn't tell it by looking at these bots).

Re: pic: Look what I saw!

I know I'm reviving somewhat of a dead thread, but some of the speculation on collaborations of 217 based on the trailer's whereabouts is interesting, given that 1114-217-148 won championship, and they were all mentioned in here.

I wasn't sure how to say "I told you so" in a GP fashion.

Thanks for taking care of that for me!!
