FRC kick-off 2010 season dates

[Andrew Schuetze]

I didn't see a 2010 season thread started yet and the annual where could the world championship be hosted was started in the fall of 2008.

As an affiliate partner for FTC with our local planning committee meeting in June, any solid ideas when FRC kick-off, ship day will be for 2010? We always look at the FRC build window and regional dates as we solicit volunteers from those mentors and students.

A quick check of the GWCC bookings has:
04/14/10 - 04/17/10 FIRST


Going backwards 2 weeks for last regional/Michigan State event, then five weeks for regional/district events, plus another week and a half for ship date, then six weeks of build one arrives at
Kick-off January 9th or 2nd
Ship date February 23rd or 16th
Regional events
wk 1 Mar 6 / Feb 27
wk 2 Mar 13 / Mar 6
wk 3 Mar 20 / Mar 13
wk 4 Mar 27 / Mar 20
wk 5 Apr 03 / Mar 27
wk 6 xxx xx / Apr 03

World Championship
Apr 14 - 17

If FIRST has kick-off on January 2nd then we again run into the shipping issues of this year for local kick-off folks dealing with kop deliveries during a holiday weekend!
