Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

this is all just more of a reason to go to RIT for me :)

credits from PLTW, and now a FIRST regional?! RIT has got it going on.

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

Hey, we've done a lot to get this far! <shameless plug> Come to RIT! We even have an official Student Government Recognized Club called RIT FIRST (I was the President for 2 years...just recently stepped down)! We only became Student Government Recognized in February but we've been a club recognized by the College of Engineering for a while. </shameless plug>

Okay, but seriously, we're working hard to get this thing going up here. I hope all of you can make it. Come look for me next year!

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

We're going to have Krispy Kreme's for Breakfast and Pizza for lunch!

And some other snipits of information - We are using an official FIRST field for this. We are expecting media coverage. The Pres of Xerox, the CEO of Bausch & Lomb and the Pres of RIT are all expected to be in attendance and speaking. We will have judges and Ref's for the exhibition. We're hoping to show the video from the closing ceremonies at the Championships. All 8 Rochester teams will be there - 191, 211, 73, 578, 340, 1126, 1450, 1405.

I see 3 current regional champions, 2 national division champions, 2 regional finalists, a former national champion, and the only two time Chairman's winner :)

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

Hey joe,
That's 2 Championship Division Winners, not finalists but that's ok.

and guys she responds well to pickup lines (or so i have heard) :D




also if YOU want to help with some ideas or sugestions for the regional please post in this thread.....http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=27528

A thought
 

It might be a good idea for some members of Rochester based teams to go to this(even if there are no Rochester teams competing at the event) and do some networking for the FInger Lakes Regional.Many of these teams are potential participants and should be reminded of the virtues of comming to Rochester.

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

LETS GET THIS THING ROLIING AGAIN!!!

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

The brand new Harris/Penfield team will be there!! Very convienent that our first year we only need to rent school buses for our first regional :)

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

Dare I even ask what a Garbage Plate is? :o

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

the ultimate in "late night dining"

2 cheese burger patties served on top of macaronni salad and hash browns

best if served covered with hotsause and mustard


you really have no idea untill you try one

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

Yummy! This sounds tasty and challenging!
(gotta have one)

:rolleyes: Finger Lake Regional at RIT on March 5... 6 hours of driving from NYC... :rolleyes:
Why not!!!

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

eww...mustard?! It's all abour covering it with ketchup! That's the stuff! It sounds pretty gross...but it's pretty good. My first garbage plate was with Matthew and Jeff (?) and Joseph (?) when I went up to visit years ago. So, I had my first garbage plate before I even came up to RIT.

Oh, and for any of you vegetarians...the cheeseburger patties are optional...you can get a veggie plate...but I'm not sure I'd trust it. :)
