Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/2008 FRC Connecticut "Double Regional"
Quote:
This promises to be an amazing event this year. I highly encourage teams from inside and especially outside of New England to get involved. There are sure to be lots of suprises in store. Not to mention this would be the first time a two field regional would take place in the US. Also, dont forget, if you can't bring your team and be a part that way, you can volunteer! With two regionals side by side, that means we need twice the manpower to make the magic happen. This could be your oportunity to really see what goes on behind the scenes at a major FIRST event. Either way, you do not want to miss history in the making! Whether you are from New England, the Midwest, the South, California, or beyond...come be a part of this amazing event! |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/2008 FRC Connecticut "Double Regional"
Sounds incredible. Good luck to all teams who compete. We would consider coming, however our "home regional" is during the same weekend, and we can't miss it.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/2008 FRC Connecticut "Double Regional"
I'm not sure the team can make it this year, we're talking about going to more than one regional, but I don't know if we're starting that yet. If any other team is going from Ohio though, I'd love to volunteer at the event.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/2008 FRC Connecticut "Double Regional"
For any teams thinking about coming to the East Coast for this event, consider coming a few days early and do a college tour while you are here. There are something like 50 colleges and universities within easy driving distance of Hartford, some of whom offer FIRST scholarships to FRC and FTC members!

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/2008 FRC Connecticut "Double Regional"
It would be a pretty cool experiment to designate one event the "tough" event and the other as the "laid back" event. Let teams make their choice, and see what they prefer...
It would be a way to see what the teams really want. You'd get some of those teams who want to test themselves against the best, on the field named "grrrrr." And on the "kumbaya" field, you get the teams who are there to learn and have fun. You'd have to respect the young team who goes up against the big boys, and you'd have to razz the experienced team who tries to be a ringer (pun intended) in the shallow end of the pool. Ken |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/2008 FRC Connecticut "Double Regional"
I hope after they have done the finals, they allow the teams from the two fields to compete- like a mini Championship.

Michael Sperber Chair, FRC Connecticut Regional Planning Committee FIRST Senior Mentor (CT) (2005-2007) CT FIRST @ www.ctfirst.org had this to in and earlier post: "5) Will the Regional Champions on each field be able to play each other? We sure hope so. The Regional Planning Committee is looking at the possibility of having a Match of the Champions, of sorts... There are some details that need to get worked out, but we are trying to find a way to make this happen! Will it mean anything in terms of official FIRST awards? No, just really good bragging rights!" I sure would like to see enough teams sign up so this can happen. Maybe some old friends and rivals who haven't been to Hartford in a while could come back and join the fun ![]() |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/2008 FRC Connecticut "Double Regional"
If anyone is still looking for a second regional to attend, the CT regional still has 33 team slots open (with only 8 teams pending). This should be a fun event this year. There is plenty of things to do around the Hartford area. Any team in the north east should consider coming to this regional.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/2008 FRC Connecticut "Double Regional"
Hi Folks!
Assuming all the pending teams hold up for the 2008 Connecticut Regional, we are only 16 teams away from filling the event, virtually assuring that the regional will go double! I assure you, this event will not dissapoint...so sign on up! I'm also very dissapointed to see that no teams from outside of the New England, New York, New Jersey area have signed up. This is your chance to come out to the Northeast and show us what you are made of (and possibly force me to shut my mouth!) Come support the future of FIRST events by taking a test drive in what could be a staple of FIRST events in the future. Double the Fun...lets go! |
