Re: 2009 Regional Dates Officially Anounced

In the 06 season MN had 2 teams, I think. 07 moved up to 15-20, and last year we hit 60+.

Anyway, they're running a double regional. That is, both events the same week, and from what I gather, .3 miles apart. Ken Rosen, MN Regional Director, last I heard, claimed they'd be held at the U of M's Williams and Mariucci arenas.

Anyway, why not? More teams is always a good thing!

Yeah, a few teams had to go out of Minnesota for their regional since there wasn't enough space. A double regional will be welcome.

It's quiet a change that Boston is week 2, at least it won't interfere with the MCAS (Statewide standardized testing)

Other than Midwest and Wisconsin of course (im not that stupid lol).
Florida is about 85 degrees about that time of year. If you plan it right you can throw in a trip to Disney, Universal, Kennedy Space Center or the beach as well.
Not to mention its a regional full of really good/tough teams.

It worked out for washburn.

171 will be doing Wisconsin and one of the Minnesota Regional's if there is room. If you figure that there will be close to 90 Minnesota teams, it all comes down to how many teams they are willing to accommodate at each regional. If it is only 45, we may be stuck registering for something else.

This will probably sound stupid, but...

What happened to all of the Michigan events?

FIRST Pilots New Event Competition Structure in Michigan discussed on Chief Delphi here. Bill Miller did not include MI events in his list of Regional events on his blog, other than the state championship in Week 6.

I just read today's post on Bill's blog and he says, "The Michigan District Events will be announced directly to the Michigan teams once the venues are secured. The plan for Michigan District Events includes the possibility of a longer day on both Friday and Saturday in order to fit in more matches." So there you go!

Re: 2009 Regional Dates Announced (Unofficial)

Oh well, I'd really been hoping that Chesapeake or DC would be week 3 (when I'm on break). Even if I manage to do it, coming down for just the Saturday won't be the same thing.

Re: 2009 Regional Dates Announced (Unofficial)

Please note the corrections from his page...
Seattle MS IS a week 5 regional and not week 4 as previously mentioned.


Good Afternoon Teams,
The Microsoft Seattle Regional will be held week 5. I made the mistake of rushing to publish the list without checking the working list against the contract with the venue.

thanks
R

We got stuck in Milwaukee.

From what I gathered, the MN one's competition was kind of pathetic with so many new teams; only about 5 teams actually were pretty good.

Milwaukee was filled with awesome teams, and we, as a rookie team, took 8th in finals.

I always wonder what would've happened had we gotten into MN.

But anyway, 8th was awesome, and everyone learned a ton!

I find it kind of pathetic that you would say this.

Re: 2009 Regional Dates Officially Anounced

Aww man they moved the VCU Regional again. At least it is after spring break is over. And it's disappointing the robotics season ends in April, if it continued into June/July I'd be able to go to the New Zealand Regional when I go there next summer .
