I am sure this has been asked before.
Have they confirmed dates for kick off and/or any regional dates for next year. Out school wants them for their official school district calendar which is due tomorrow. Or maybe at least a close estimate. I thought it would be good to have these dates on our school district calendar for our community to see.
Thanks for all you do and for a great FRC Season!
January 6th to February 20th I think
I don’t think anything has been officially posted yet, but I believe kickoff should be on Jan 6. that would put Stop Build on Feb 20 and week 1 regionals Mar 1-3.
As for regional dates, I don’t think there have been any official announcements yet. A lot of it depends on the venue availability. Since you’re a MN team… in the past, Duluth has been either week 1 or week 2, while Minneapolis has been week 5 or week 6. Since 2015, they’ve been 1/6. I wouldn’t put anything on the calendar until they are officially announced.
The 2018 kickoff is officially January 6 per https://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/frc/kickoff (At the bottom)
Typically, regionals will be announced as the arrangements are finalized, typically August-September (maybe earlier). You may want to inform your district that you can’t promise them dates for YOUR events until you know which ones they are (in September or so)–but they could be anywhere between 3/1 and 4/7 (or so).
I’m holding out hope that they get rid of bags and we don’t have stop build next year.
