What 2015 Events Are You Looking Forward To?

[tindleroot]

With so many teams registering for this year's events, there are some exciting events forming. Which events are you looking forward to seeing, whether it be live or via webcast?

I am excited about seeing both Dallas and MAR Hatboro-Horsham, they look like they will be pretty competitive.

Waterbury. Its going to be great competing in our own city.

1) The final Virginia Regional... again... maybe: One of the longest running regionals will likely hold its last matches in the 2015 season since the state is supposed to go to districts in 2016. Even if you're unfamiliar with the Virginia Regional's great history of aggressively average competition (and you probably are), it's bittersweet for me.

2) 2015 FIRST Championships: One of the largest events in competitive robotics is about to get even bigger? Excited to see what's going to happen and how the community can proactively plan for the change and how FIRST will react to a larger footprint in StL.

3) Wherever 422 winds up in Week 1: I too, like to live dangerously. No matter where you go, the unbridled chaos surrounding a week 1 event can be a pressure cooker. I still like them well enough. Maybe we won't even end up at a Week 1, but eh, we'll see.

4) 2015 Mt Olive District Event (are we really calling them events again?) I want to make it out for my first district competition this year, and this looks like a good one to go to.

It's like a second Christmas for me or whatever holiday!

I am pretty much the same, but championships for sure.

Michigan State, arguably the most competitive event in the regular FRC season

FTFY Couldn't agree more! I'll be there one day.

I do want to volunteer at some more events this year and travel to one on week 3 as my idea of a really off the rails spring break

The Purdue District. I've been attending the Boilermaker Regional since I was a high school freshman 2008, and as a current student at Purdue, I'm excited to see that they're making use of the new Rec Center rather than the Armory, which was too small for the event.

Every California regional.

This and for me, the other 3 Indiana events this coming year, all of which I'm volunteering for.

PS- I too have been to boilermaker since my freshman year of 2008.

Waterloo - Probably the most competitive regional in Canada.

Dallas right now is signed up to have 3 past world champions, a ton of teams that did really well at Worlds and IRI, and then you still have the rest of the roster that looks amazing! I know personally I can't wait for Dallas! Can't wait to see all the amazing robots! Good luck to all teams.

I can't wait for MAR Champs this year. We qualified for the first time last season, and it was really exciting! I can't wait to return (hopefully) with a bit more experience.
