A modest amount of photos I took during the first two days can be found here.
No pictures from the award ceremonies, unfortunately, as I had left early to rest (silly back problem).

And a huge, massive, spectacular, fantabulous congrats to Wayne! I've been only saying forever that you deserve some shiny new (WFA) hardware. :D

Wayne Penn, You are THE MAN!

I am so incredibly happy that you won. You definitely deserve this especially in the NYC area for all that you have done. After moving to Boston, you certainly did not stop. Any area that has you is definitely blessed with a lot of help. Great going buddy. Enjoy this time.

Congrats to Waynep! :D

I don't think I can really add much to what everyone else above me has already said.

Re: 2008 New York City Regional
 

So i came down from boston today see my brother compete in the FTC comp. I must say i was rather disappointed at what i saw today, from a set-up side of things. I got there at about 11 am today, they were supposed to start at 9 or so today, not so much. When i got there i found out that they were 2 HOURS behind! I was blown away! And when it was finally time for a match it seemed like it took FOREVER to get it started, they were out there upwards of 5 min just waiting to being the match.

One of the fields had what looked like a 12"x12" high spot, which cost some teams matches! It 232's match with team 74 (who has won 3 regionals already) got stuck on that raised portion, from what i have heard it may have been their only loss all season. This situation repeated it's self in the #8 vs. #1 seed match, the number 1 seed was dominant, but one of the teams on the #8 alliance got stuck.

And for some reason they had very nice flat screen tv's set up all over the place, but coudl not get them working!! They just ended up printing out seedings after every couple matches.

That whole event was run very un professionally, and none of the team members, parents, or spectators seemed to enjoy this very much.

FRC also seemed to be in a state of disarray, there were 2 MC's and 2 play by play announcers. Blair and Shenqua both on the same field while cool, seemed a bit.....much. While talking to some of the volunteers, they were also not enjoying them selves.

I applaud the Regional committee for attempting to do "everything", but it ended up half assed in my opinion.

congrats wayne
