C.O.R.E. team 2062 will be there in hopes of repeating their 2088 success.

Second regional registration opens on October 22nd.

[J93Wagner]

Team 93 is coming, like always.

EDIT: 111 is coming? Well, another good team to add to the contest, I hope we're with them in the elimination rounds (cross-fingers)

[AndyB]

171 will be there of course. We're also doing Northstar again.

One team that I don't see on the Wisconsin list (or any other list) is 2970. Any word on if they are competing this year? They were an extremely impressive rookie team last year.

[Chris is me]

I know 90% of 2970 was seniors, so I wouldn't be surprised if they folded or merged with 1652. Then again, they apparently registered extremely late last year too.

According to their FIRST team page, they have not registered for any events this year.

[AndyB]

We spoke to members from 2970 during competitions last year and they said that it was a one year gig and that the two teams (2970 and 1652) would be merging for the 2010 season.

[Matt382]

I was talking to a guy too on team 2970 and he also mentioned that it was probably going to be their last year. We will also be attending the Wisconsin Regional again.

1018 will also be making a stop at Wisconsin.

[Chris is me]

Wisconsin is attracting a chunk of outside attention attention this year. Due to the unique combination week of Boilermaker, Midwest, and St. Louis, and the one week earlier position in the scheduling, it's becoming a common second (or third) event for many Midwest teams and Michigan teams. 111 is returning once again (came to Wisconsin in 2006 under similar circumstances), while 216 is coming for the first time, as is 288 and 1018.

A few teams that traditionally did Midwest / Wisconsin are still doing so albeit in reverse, with 1732 and 2039 taking that route. Other Wisconsin teams like 1675 are going for Minnesota or other regionals instad though.

The most interesting thing to note obviously is Winnovation's absence from Wisconsin. They have been off the board by the time the second alliance captain has picked every year they've attended, and won the event twice. The elmination rounds should shake up a little with this staple removed, albeit likely filled by 111, 216, and 1018.

My thoughts when looking at the list so far. Good luck!

I was gonna say that, i mean, 1625 did post earlier that they were not coming to WI.
