The 5th NYC FIRST! Regional in 2005
 

An Official Thread for the NYC Regionals 5th. Year of existence.

Hopefully I will see all the NY / NJ Teams in attendance including the local teams from Staten Island NY.

As kickoff rapidly approaches I wish all the teams much luck in their build season and hope to see all of you competitive as you were last year.


Happy New Years and Happy Holidays






Official NYC FIRST! Aholic.

good luck to all nyc people!

Re: The 5th NYC FIRST! Regional in 2005
 

I agree with denman on that (for once)

I'm sure we'll all have a good laugh. Even if our bot catches fire...

Re: The 5th NYC FIRST! Regional in 2005
 

Can't wait to see you all there. Should be an awesome regional this year. Every season it the bots get better and better. I know ours has ;)

The information the website is providing for NYC agenda at http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/2005/rgevents.htm does not coincide with the latest changes to the NYC Regional agenda.

It is our understanding that the pits will open earlier in NYC on Thu and that pits will open at 8 am on Friday morning.

Please check for updates.

no team social?
Maybe we should organise one :D

Re: The 5th NYC FIRST! Regional in 2005
 

With only less then 3 weeks till the NYC Regionals, Out of the teams competing here which would you say are the ones to watch out for.

Re: The 5th NYC FIRST! Regional in 2005
 

well, i can't say i've seen many of the bots at nyc....

Re: The 5th NYC FIRST! Regional in 2005
 

759 are currently in a bit of a panic. The robot is stuck in customs, we are desperately trying to get it sorted... I think even if our robot isn't arrived, we will still be there. Its been stuck since march 1st ... we dont exactly know why. I'll keep you all updated...

Re: The 5th NYC FIRST! Regional in 2005
 

OUCH! :ahh:

KEEP US UPDATED IN NYC.
If your BOT doesn’t get thru customs or ends up in the Caribbean islands; contact me ASAP (IM or email) and I'll try to arrange for a KOP-BOT base (assembled) for you to work with on Thursday.

Re: The 5th NYC FIRST! Regional in 2005
 

i believe we have contacted first a lot and it should be sorted. I will as i said post updates. I'm hoping its just a scare and it will be fine...

Re: The 5th NYC FIRST! Regional in 2005
 

what is there for customs to be so concerned about though? i mean unless you packed the hollow aluminum with cocaine or something which i doubt you did. there aren't any any agricultural things for them to worry about and its not a killing machine so why would they keep it. its probably that $@#$@#$@#$@# American state department. w/e hope it gets here in time if it doesn't I'm sure we'll all figure out a GP solution. i agree with what people were all saying before that we should make our own team social. if any of the teams want to get together and give the out-of-towner's a tour of our great city the night before competition email me and ill try to organize something. the email is Hockeygoalie33@nyc.rr.com

Re: The 5th NYC FIRST! Regional in 2005
 

edit:
misread - so you mean wednesday? We are meeting up with 694 in the afternoon. Maybe you could give a tour on the morning?
odd : http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/2005...lic_Agenda.pdf
has a bit for team social
yet http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/2005...tyRegional.pdf says there isn't one...
