If you want confirmation I suggest you ask the Regional Director. We are just rumor mongrels.

True,
but I'm not asking for an official one.
Many wont confirm yet anyway................its just something for us to ponder on for planning purposes on the possibilities.

FYI, many regional directors (committee) have posted here before.

A Charleston, SC newspaper ran an article today about the Palmetto regional. It will be March 24-26 at the North Charleston Convention Center. The convention center is next to the colliseum. It's a flat open space, so I imagine Palmetto will be similar to Peachtree in that regard.

I'm trying to figure some things out and can't find this information anywhere: Does anyone have any information (particularly location) of this new Tennessee regional? It may be within reach for us, but the answer depends on which end of the Volunteer State volunteers itself.

Tennessee regional is supposed to be held in Knoxville...

Just posted to the israeli teams:
Israel Regional dates: 14-16 March at NOKIA Arena.
I think it is on week 3.

Arizona looks like Week 3...

Robot is already bagged or shipped.

Please remember that until FIRST releases the official information, nothing is a confirmed date or location (just look at Connecticut last year if you doubt this - we were switched twice in a matter of days leading up to the official announcement).

Fun fact: FIRST finally deleted all the 2010 events from the TIMS, but they haven't replaced them with tentative 2011 event dates yet. I think that means they're "Coming Soon".

Yes, we do. Seattle is very likely going to be the largest event in the world in 2011, save for the Championship.

Why doesn't that surprise me? I think it's been every week but week 1 since I've been a mentor. I'm actually hoping it's not week 5 again this year.

You and me both. While we wernt going to Atlanta, I felt we almost had to much time inbetween ship and CT to get things done. Plus with it falling on Easter weekend (even though Easter was early this year) most of 1071's members lives couldnt have been more hectic.
