177 will be in the Hyatt. I'm not sure precisely where that is, since I've never been to nats before, but I am super psyched! :D
Tema 1868 will also be staying at the Hyatt but we don't know rooms yet. Does anyone know wether it is quicker to walk to the dome, or take MARTA?
Mmm..once again, Team 25 will be at the Omni/CNN Center. We've loved it ever since we first stayed there in 2004 and we'll be back there this year!

Through the wonderfully fast and furious signing up of our sponsor-liaison, we (Team 322) were able to get rooms at the Omni this year ^_^
Team 1138 will also be at the Omni.
Can't wait, 21 days 'til.
Tema 1868 will also be staying at the Hyatt but we don't know rooms yet. Does anyone know wether it is quicker to walk to the dome, or take MARTA?
I'd walk. It doesn't cost money, and it isn't very far at all.

were staying at the Wyndham, 3 miles away from the dome and all the fun
Team 1577 from Israel will be at the Hyatt Regency, probably along with team 1657
862 will be at the Marriott Marquis.

We stayed at the Hyatt 2004 and 2005. MARTA is very quick, but honestly, it is sometimes easier to just walk. The endless escalators are fun though.
team 1568 is stayin at the Hilton
pretty sure with 121 as well, since we are driving down with them...

The walk took me about 20 minutes last year. It was fun watching all the teams doing this walk and streaming in from all different directions.

I have two years of experience from going to Nationals staying at the Westin Peachtree. I have found that it is quicker to walk from the hotel to competition because with the MARTA you have to go from N1 (Peachtree Station) to Five Points, that is 1 station south. Then you have to get on a Westbound train to W1 (Dome, CNN, OMNI Station), that is 1 station west. The time that it takes to go all the way up and down the escalators and get on and off trains takes more time then just walking. It is about 15 minute walk from Westin to Competition.
You will see the direction that all the teams walk will match up with http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/2006/site_info/2005_Championship_Downtown_Map.pdf
and they will all walk down Andrew Young International BLVD. Good way to meet other teams and have a good conversation.
MARTA from Airport to Hotel is very nice and probably the best way to go cost wise. (about 35-40 minute ride if I remember right)
If it is anyone's first time down to Atlanta and have a question or two I would be happy to answer them if I can. AIM, E-mail, MSN, ICQ, ChiefDelphi PM whatever :)

Does anyone know wether it is quicker to walk to the dome, or take MARTA?The Hyatt is right near the Peachtree MARTA station, so it may be worth it. Last year, as well as this year, 228 is staying at the Hilton Hotel, and we are planning to purchase the MARTA passes again this year.
As for commute times, it depends on the time of the day. If you leave at rush hour, they run trains about every three or four minutes. In the off peak hours, they run trains every six to eight minutes, and depending on how long you have to wait, it may/may not be faster to walk.
At rush hour, it is faster to take MARTA from the Peachtree station than to walk. Last year, one of the morning commutes from the hotel to the GA Dome, our drive team and the rest of our team both left our hotel (the Hilton) at the same time. The drive team took MARTA (from Peachtree station), while the rest of the team walked the whole way. The drive team got to the pits about 10 minutes before the rest of the team. After this, most of the team took MARTA.

177 is falsely registered at the Hilton. We thought we were staying there, but reservations at the Hyatt were made on Monday, so we will now be there.
Team 1305 is staying at Marriott Marquis.
Should be a lot of fun.

06-04-2006, 14:45
Team 1270 will be staying in the Marriott Marquee, i have stayed here before, and it is like 10 minutes walking from the dome and its even closer to the Centennial Park. I think its the only Marriott but i might be wrong there are tons of hotels in Atlanta

06-04-2006, 14:56
The Wyndom Is also know as the Marriot Downtown if i am correct, it's about a 10-15 min walk to the dome.
Team 1402 and Team 945 will be staying at the Marriot Marquee insted of the Westin...yea i know....a shocker :ahh:

Team 175 is staying at the Westin Peachtree this year (along with a few other teams, it seems) that's exciting, I enjoy staying with other teams! :)
With two similair threads going at once this is a total mess.
Brandon, is there any chance you could combine the two threads?

MARRIOTT FAIRFIELD INN is where Team 204 is heading.
585 will be at the embassy suites (i think the one near the airport or the subway).
Team 973 is staying at peachtree. Hope to see more teams there, this is our first nationals.
Team 1549 will be staying at the Hawthorn Suites, and traveling with 830 and 469.
See you there, and keep an eye out for our cart (that's it in my avatar).
The CircuitRunners will be staying at the Hyatt. The walk isn't bad at all. And it is kinda fun looking at hundreds of other people in brightly colored shirts filled with buttons coming fram many different ways all converging into the Georgia Dome. Not to mention the disbelief on bystanders' faces when they everyone going by.

Well i do not believe this is Official but the pool is open to anyone staying at the hotel and as it looks its going to be mostly FIRST event participants so its not official but we can do something...... we can have a little gathering and people can pitch in to bring things!! anyone up for that????
Freddy Schurr
07-04-2006, 23:36

How do poof-balls react to water? I would think they would just absorb a lot and then get heavy.

I think that would only happen to Poof Balls that had been moderately shredded by teams. Brand new ones are coated pretty well, and I don't think they would absorb water well. Ones that have been used a lot by shooters are much more exposed to the inner foam, and they would get very heavy when in water. I speak from experience outside of FIRST involving Poof-footballs.

Team 1155 is staying at the Hampton inn like 4 stops north of 5 points on the MARTA. No pool party like at the fancy Omni but were bringing a whole lot of good ol fashion board games which is so much better. That being said their is an open challenge anyone else staying in the Hampton for an all night Risk tournament, you bring the caffeine ill bring the board.

Hey guys 222 has been accepted into nationals and we are unsure of where to stay this year. Due to extreme budget issues, we are looking for a really cheap hotel that isn't too far way from the dome. Any teams staying at such a hotel? My team has stayed at the Marriot the past few years and its time to find a cheap hotel! Any help would be appreciated! :D
Eugenia Gabrielov
08-04-2006, 23:19
If I were you, I'd try stuff like Comfort Inn, Holiday Inn, etc. You don't want a terrible hotel, or you'll have problems, but a lot of the "Inn" types are generally affordable. Our team is collectively travelling with two other teams, totally to probably about 90ish people total. We'll be at Comfort Inn happily :)

Team 461, 1646, and 1747 are all from the same geographic area (Greater Lafayette, IN). We're a big bunch, you can't miss us, as the team colors go something like this:
461 - bright yellow and black
1646 - red and black
1747 neon green and black
Comfort Inn looks to be fun, can't wait to see 1610 there.
190 will also be at the Westin this year.

Its official, 222 is staying at the Best Western Perimeter North which is about 10.5 miles out of the city, but we have the luxury of the MARTA, right across the street!!!!!! Price wise, it was very good, free 20 item hot breakfast and a pool to swim in after a long day of competition, where could you go wrong?
