I don't know about smaller, my understanding is that they will both be roughly the size of the single regional last year, maybe slightly smaller. I believe there will be 50+ teams at each regional. Should be a pretty crazy weekend, I can't wait!

Here is the link to the YouTube promo video for the double regional: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrCJJ2JHnEU&fmt=6

I don't know any more specifics on the cRIO seminar, but you may want to ask that question in the forum section of the MN regional website.

Jeff, I know that FIRST is showing a capacity of 40 for each regional. Historically, I know most regionals usually end up with more than what FIRST lists due to late registrations with rookies and such. I'd love to see 100 teams competing that weekend.
