Of course we'll keep watching but I'd rather see your team find some local schools to start new teams and take those spots.

Of course the Rochester teams could always make a return to NJ one more time......

wayne did you put team 25 on the waiting list..i know another team that has this site close to it's heart is already on there :D

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

I think we're up to about 8 rookie teams in the area. We aren't really expecting any more at this point. I don't know if we'd be able to provide adequate assistance to many more teams anyway.

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

I see FIRST just made 4 teams jump from the wait list to the Regional List. Can't wait to partner up with our 2003 J&J Alliance partners 25. Welcome. Who else has been moved?

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

Sorry Rees-

I am afraid that when we were left hanging for so long we went and registered for South Carolina. Lets face it, the registration closed a week ago and, if the Rochester committee hadn't made the move today, we would have been left with nowhere to go. SC seemed happy to have us. So, with regret, I told FIRST today that we decliined the move off the waiting list. Obviously this procedure of having teams wait without word until after the registration period is not working.

So I guess we look to go north next year. If nothing else we'll see everyone in Atlanta.

:cool:

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

Well unfortunately some of that could have been avoided. I sent an email to FIRST a month ago to withdraw from the competition (we were registered for Rochester). I recieved a phone call yesterday asking where I wanted our KOP sent. So I had to resend the email asking to be taken off the list for Rochester.
Hopefully FIRST will be working out some of these kinks in the registration process.

Hi Kristin
Sorry to hear you guys had to withdraw this year. Is there anything we can do to help you guys out for next year? Please let us know and we'll see what we can do.

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

I'm not sure that this was a Rochester move. We had been ready to open up those few extra slots for quite a while. I believe that it came from above to wait until December. I don't know what their reasoning was in this.

South Carolina sounds like a treat for the students. Enjoy!

If you wanted to come scout the first weekend of competition, we'd love to host you!

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

How were the teams divided into groups? It seems that the Strassenburgh Planetarium Teams are all rookie teams.

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

I have no idea but yes all the rookies are in the Planetarium and most of the veteran Rochester teams are in Eisenhart (except for QX Robotix who's with you guys).
What Surpises me the most is 229 Division by Zero isn't going to make the trip.

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

I thought the kick off went well. The field elements are a lot bigger than I initially thought seeing the in person than from looking at them on the screen during the broadcast.

Given the game I think it's going to be an interesting season and I can't wait to see what teams come up with this year.

See you all at the Rochester Regional. I'll be there with 1507. It's a rookie team but not all the members are rookies.

Good Luck to everyone.

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

Well with the robots shipped and ready to roll it's time to fire this thread up again.
To the Finger Lakes Regional participants: how did the build season go?
