[FONT=“Times New Roman”]Were will the Clean Sweep World Championchip take place?[/FONT]
This is not official:
I would guess Dallas, TX (same place as last year)
- Dallas is very close to Greenville, TX ( IFI Headquarters)
- It worked out well last year, why change it ?
I would like to see it stay in Dallas, but who knows. IFI should release something on RobotEvents.
i believe that this year it will be in Dallas Texas again, but next year i think it is going to be in Disney world in Florida 
That would be amazing… because I live in Florida!!!
I don’t think that Atlanta would be a bad spot. 
Plenty of hotels, the Convention Center is simply monsterous, and they might even be able to only use the GA Dome for the pits and the field. Not to mention the plentiful supply of things to do around here.
Yeah, well, how about the Seattle Center or the Anaheim Convention Center? It doesn’t have to be in all those bizarre places.
Since when is Atlanta “bizarre”.
I was just thinking along the lines that FIRST hosts its championships in Atlanta and it’s been working out well for them. Maybe VEX might find interest in Atlanta as well.
I think it would be in Dallas again because from what i heard everyone enjoyed it and i agree with lyncas in the sense that it is close to IFI headquarters so they don’t need to haul all the fields and equipment very far.
Vex should take advice form first seeing as how Champions of the Americas was in the middle of now…I mean Omaha =P
Toronto anyone lol?
Um…I didn’t quite understand what you mean… =|
Hahaha, I’ve been to Toronto, and it’s an excellent city. =D
toronto will be COLDDDDD
what about seattle?
lol
teams that live FAR will need HUGE fundings to go to dallas
of course, seattle is literaly right next to my back yard 
I would be happy if it would be somewhere close to a beach hehe. 
Your profile doesn’t have your location. Do you live in Washington?
Ocean City, MD Roland E. Powell Convention Center.

Spacious and unreserved, and across Coastal Highway is the beach. Not to mention after a year in Cali and a year in Texas a place on the East Coast gives a good location for teams all up an down the coast.
Not to mention you have the Baltimore Convention Center in Maryland and most likely countless facilities along the coast.

Looks nice! What about San Juan, Puerto Rico Convention Center ?
It’s 5 mins. away from the beach, entertainment, historical landmarks, and a Mariott is being built just beside it. Nice and hot weather, not to mention the ladies :p.](“http://www.prconvention.com/”)
The beach would be epic win.
Ah… in May Toronto might actually be warmer than Seattle. Now don’t compare temperatures in February. Also, lets face it any time you are in Seattle, it will be raining.;). I can only say that because I share your weather here in Vancouver.
VEX is based in Dallas. As a company they save a huge amount time, effort and money, having it there. The Convention center was nice, Dallas was great.
As for travel, Dallas is one of the Airline Hubs for North America. Air fare from Vancouver was nearly half as much to go to Dallas as it was to Atlanta the previous year.
In a perfect world, maybe the order would be something like, West coast, East coast, Center, then maybe a foreign location and repeat. The reason here is not to “share” the tournament. There is no way to do that really. But my reasoning is that for many of the participants it would be another way to see another location of the world.
Now, again I think VEX would be crazy to move it each year. I think it should stay in Dallas. But what you can do is attend tournaments well outside your local area. I got to get funding for that one in Hawaii one year.
So I guess the real answer to “Clean Sweep Location?” is where ever you can find a tournament. The worlds are in Dallas:D
What about doing it at Hawaii! Pan-Pacific is here and it never dips below 65 during the winter (and when it dips below 70 thats a cold day!). Not to mention that there are plenty of hotels nearby (a long drive is like an hour so thats what I mean by close). I’m sure the VEX people would love to go to the beaches and surf… Or just check out the clear skies and such…
