Organizing committees are in place and planning has started for new regional competitions next year in:
- Annapolis, MD
- Manchester, NH
- Phoenix, AZ
- Pittsburgh, PA

There is discussion about a possible new regional in the mid-south, perhaps in Atlanta, GA, or Huntsville, AL.

So dave, I heard through the grapevine that the one in Manchester is going to be held at the Verizon center and will replace the UTC regional in CT?!?!?! Is this true or all just a big rumor? Don't make me travel if I don't have to next year... I like having a regional in my backyard!!!

Although......I could plan a midnight excursion to the Kamen residence if it is held in Manchester!

Hmmm.....the conundrum I am in now!!

i think we should have a regional in Hawaii!!!
we have a lot of schools down here that would join, but then they dont have enough money to go all the way to the mainland. from the whole state of hawaii, only 5 schools are in the robotics team. we hold fundraisers and we must of had about 7 or more car washes... se wtill had to pay about 1000 per person to go. most of the other states are connected, so u can drive, but then, in hawaii, you HAVE to take a plane.. which means... plane fares... etc etc etc... i think a lot of other schools would join if we had a regional in Hawaii, and many teams from elsewhere would also come too........

I would say that there is very little chance that the Manchester regional would ever replace the UTC regional in CT. UTC is a big sponsor of FIRST and there seems to be little reason to simply replace the regional.
