Hey, I was up there this summer!
We’ve officially crossed 5000 with Quantum Robotics.
Combing through the 200+ new teams, there’s already 4 new teams in the KC area (all on MO side), 6 unidentified in MO, and 1 unidentified in KS (might be in Manhattan, just got email that some KSU students are trying to start a team here again). Neat to see so much growth.
188’s back too!
I believe both Emery CI and RH King in Toronto have fielded separate male and female teams in the past, thus having 2 FRC teams from the same school.
So as of right now we have 1369 of last years 2524 teams registered.
In Florida we have 35 of last years 64 veterans registered so I am guessing some areas have gaps like ours
3397 is signed up for STL regional (got one of the last 2 slots, we missed the fact that registration was today.)
On that note, many strong teams are missing, it seems. 1985, 1094, 1288, 1208,931 are missing.
Some are at Central Illinois regional, but will hopefully come to St. Louis as a second regional.
I am also excited to see THRUST joining us, as well as the other out of state teams.
This is gonna be awesome.
Yes! Batman is Back!

Right now, Orlando is 34%(14/41) Non-Floridians. I do believe there is also 5 teams from Brazil registered too.
We were in Orlando last year, now we are going with some friends! 
And it’ll be great to have you back 
Glad to see your friends too, I love international events!
Is there any web page that shows all the regional capacities like FIRST used to have years ago before they did the big website upgrade? Especially with the increased number of events, this is really needed.
I really miss that also and we were just talking about it today at work.
It even changed color as the regional event neared full capacity.
Past 1600 registered teams at 9am ET this morning.
Rookies:
I miss those old displays too.
Initial capacity (winners of the popularity or overcrowded contest) has been reached at:
Here’s the initial published event capacity.
Add 5 or 10 or 15 depending on the type of event for the reserved slots.
I keep a running chart showing remaining slots, but it’s a snapshot rather than being dynamic feedback.

Smoky Mountain just hit initial capacity; 6 rookies already on the list.
Team 1786 from Dublin, NH is a new team for 2014 that has a listed rookie season of 2006. Any news on who they are/were associated with?
1729 Plan B used to be a part of The Dublin School and that is where 1786 is listed as being from so they are my best guess
Are any of those 6 “Early Filled” regionals the same as last year’s “Early Fillers?”
Interesting that 4/6 of those events are the same week with the other 2 being the same week as each other.
Also the 4 are the same week as Spring break in Palm Beach county. With the two being the weekend before.
I’m still a bit new to all of this, and don’t completely understand what “reserved slots” are…but my team was hoping to make Smoky Mountains our second choice…is this still possible?
This regional filled quickly last year, and I considered making it our first choice, but I thought that last year’s popularity may have been due to its proximity to the Easter Holiday.
Reserved slots are typically held back for rookie teams. It also gives the regional director some flexibility to manage the regional when things get hectic towards the final days of registration.
Reserve slots are spots that the Regional sets aside for rookie teams that usually are in the area. They are there to allow rookies to compete in regionals that are in their area.
Edit: Oops rsisk beat me to it
