Invite to US teams to attend Waterloo Regional

This link lists a bunch of hotels/motels in Kitchener/Waterloo.

I have stayed in the Howard Johnson Hotel and in the Knights Inn (HoJo is a better hotel). I can't remember what we paid in the past, but the website shows a range of some room pricings.

For any team worried about crossing the border I know it can kind of seem overwhelming initially, but as Karthik said earlier FIRST Canada is willing and able to help however they can, and I got two robots back and forth across the border last year a few times and for the most part it is straightforward.

Any questions/concerns I'm willing to help out as well.

GTR is a nice event, but personally I've always liked Waterloo better. More matches, better teams, and a friendlier, closer atmosphere.

FRC 931 attended the Waterloo Regional a couple of years ago, and it was a blast!

Waterloo's advantages include lots of enthusiasm, lots of noise, a great volunteer crew, a cozy-but-comfortable venue, and one of the best emcees to be found at any FRC event.

We highly recommend this event -- for us the trip was long, but worth it. For 2009 we'll be attending Kansas City and St. Louis, but we definitely will keep Waterloo on our short list for future seasons.
