Indeed I am.

Week 5 Peachtree? I know it used to be a Week 3, but looking at the GCC's calendar, I don't think Week 3's possible. We were assuming that it was just going to be week 1 again...

See, the thing is, a lot of Peachtree/Palmetto/Tennessee regional teams would probably (alright, might--we're planning on those three, I think) overlap, and I don't think Connie would put Tennessee either right after Peachtree or the same time as Palmetto, even if it's in Charleston :/

Well, I think that there was a bit of a let down at P'tree this year simply because of it being a week 1 event, and then the rules changed and stuff. So that might be something they are trying to avoid.

Right, the teams do overlap. But with P'tree, Palmetto, TN, and the NC Regional all in the same general region, there are going to be at least two that are back to back.

Re: 2011 FRC Season dates

I'm in the 10,000 Lakes regional in MN, and my team was thinking about doing a second regional, which is the best time (and distance, drivable preferably) friendly option?

Oh, and will FIRST compensate for extra travel expenses, like I've heard?

Or are we doing something against the rules?

Re: 2011 FRC Season dates

We can't tell you for sure what regional would be best for your second event. Wisconsin might be helpful as a week two event.

It will (probably) cost an extra 4,000 dollars and you will be on your own for team transport and you should read section 4 of the manual to learn about robot transport. You might need to learn about Bag and Tag rules.

The ONLY official word is from FIRST headquarters.

Having said that the Peachtree date is posted by the RD here

FIRST never compensates for travel or anything like that. Extra regionals "only" cost $4000 more though, I guess.

Second regional for you guys is pretty much Wisconsin. It's a few weeks earlier and the one that's not ridiculously far away. Kansas City is probably the other semi reasonable regional.

I think the Robettes (2177) have gone to both St. Louis and Kansas City in the past (though not the same year to my knowledge). Lots of teams have gone over to Milwaukee (especially before the days of the Minnesota Regional(s), all of four years ago(!)). Honestly, Chicago (Midwest) isn't that much further than Milwaukee if scheduling doesn't work.

Re: 2011 FRC Season dates

I'm assuming that if they were looking for compensation they don't have a ton of money for travel, and I think Wisconsin is probably the only event that's easy to bus to... Midwest is probably only an hour or two more though.

A reminder that any of these are unofficial and you shouldn't do any serious planning with them.

As noted, Wisconsin or Midwest is your best bet for a second regional.

FIRST does not compensate teams for travel. Better find a few sponsors to help cover the bill. (Or a lot of sponsors...)

There are no rules on how many events a team can do. If you wanted to and had the money, you could do an event per week through the entire competition season. (Note that doing more than one event per week is physically impossible and doing one event per week all season will likely bring down parental or district wrath.)

Suggestion: Instead of going to a second regional, see if you can raise the funds for a trip down to St. Louis for the Championship. It's $5K entry, plus travel (plan on staying 4 nights), but you get exposed to a lot more teams and a higher level of play--and don't forget meeting all the folks from CD, if you want to. Then, if as a team you decide to go to a second regional instead of the Championship, you can use the extra for a) a practice robot, b) next year, c) lots of aluminum to build a frame later, d) tools, e) whatever else you can think of that you'd need money for.

Rough numbers from the St. Louis Park (according to google maps): 6 hrs to Milwaukee, 7 to KC, 7.5 Chicago, 9.5 to St. Louis. That said, I have done all of them (except St. Louis) in less time, but with a bus it probably isn't too far off.

Eric,
Any chance you have heard anything about dates for San Diego or Los Angeles regionals? Nothing is posted on either regional's venues yet...

Re: 2011 FRC Season dates

Nope, I know nothing about L.A. or S.D., not even a rumor. (Well, other than I think I know who the L.A. FTA will probably be, but things can change...)

However, I can use elimination at Los Angeles. April 2-3 is out. March 9-13 is out. March 19 is out. (Those are due to other events having the arena booked.)

That means that L.A., if it is at Long Beach again, must be Week 1, Week 4, or Week 6. Going by history, Week 4 is most likely, but all of those weeks are possible.

Can anyone confirm NYC and/or NJ?
I'm assuming NJ is week 1 again.
