2010 Buckeye Regional

[synth3tk]

Well, well, well. It looks like we are at full registered capacity this year, at 50 teams, with a month to go on registration. This does not look good for the team that I'm starting, but it is good news none-the-less.

Anyway, my ranting aside, who is going, and who are you looking forward to see?

If you're starting a new team you can still register. Most Regionalshold spots for late signing rookies.

I was shocked to see how fast this regional filled up.

If I am not mistaken, Buckeye has hosted many more teams than this in the past, and the Wolstein Center is a huge venue. I expect they can and will fit in more, especially rookie teams.

Edit:

2009 - 59 teams
2007 - 58 teams
2004 - 60 teams
2003 - 63 teams

So there's plenty of room.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

Purdue FIRST teams 1646 Boiler Precision Guessworks, 1747 HBR, and 461 WBI will be attending the Buckeye Regional again this year.
We're all excited for the upcoming season!

Team 48 just got into Buckeye off the waitlist. That means all 8 NEOFRA FRC teams - 48, 276, 379, 2010, 2835, 2901, as well as rookies 3193 and 3209 - will be there.

Based upon the team list, it looks like the event will be even more competitive than last year. Looking forward to it!

1038 will be back along with the 3 rookie teams we are working with, 3138, 3201 and 3266.

It hasn't been too bad. We'll see how Saturday goes. We are having a mock build season day to teach our new students and 5 other teams we are working with ( 3 Rookies and 2 2nd year teams) what it is like to go through the first couple weeks of build season; from strategy to robot design. We are usin the 2005 game, Triple Play, as our challenge.

Seams so empty without all the Indiana team. So sad they moved the date.
