Yes, I recalled and thought about the same thing. Having a week 6 does push it back a week, considering that CMP's date is confirmed.

With that being said, then when? :D
My students keep bugging me about NYC 2009!
We wouldn't be able to go anyway during weeks 4-6, since Hawaii is week 5.
I'm almost 93.59% sure it will be the 2nd week of Regional competition.
Again, NYC will be a mini-championship with FRC, FTC and FLL under the same roof. We are also looking at the possibility of two fields for 2009.

It will be great having a FRC team from Hawaii!
:)

Rich,
now you really got our thoughts flowing **my students saw your post also.**
We were already planning NJ week 1 again, so, NYC week 2 would be very enticing.
Get to see Wayne P. go from MC to field coach in back to back weeks.:D

This will create a lot of offseason debate for our team on what to do...:P

If NYC is week 2 then I won't be back to volunteer then because FLR is probably going to be week 2. I wonder what Maureen and Michelle will do since they volunteer at both event?

I didn't get to see Wayne do this back to back but I saw Wayne emcee at the inaugural OKC Regional and then I watched him coach on Curie and on Einstein this year. I'm not sure I've fully recovered from the experience - hopefully, I will by 2009.

I saw him do both in Florida.
He'd introduce the teams and then rush over to his coaching position.
Now that's a man of many hats!

Ms. P,
When will FL happen next year.;) Perhaps a little heads-up?
I think if and when our students find out, I wont hear the end of it.

Wow, that would be a sweet deal!
One plane ride and two huge FRC regionals- Trenton, NJ then visit NYC for some R-n-R and finish the trip with a win in the NY Javits Center.

*Rumored: Atlantic City, NJ maybe considered for the next location to hold the NJ Regional.

AC?? that would be awesome for nj!! where would they hold it though?

Re: 2009 FIRST Championship dates!
 
Atlantic City? That would be a change, but why not hold it in the shiny new Prudential Center? Centrally located, easy to get to, blocks from the headquarters of NJ/NYC FIRST.

Scott, maybe a chance to meet up and team up again?
I like our chances.:)

You could also hold it in the Izod Center, which would most likely be cheaper than the Pru, and since only the Nets play in Izod, there is more time availible. Note: Seaton Hall Basketball AND the Devils play in the Prudential Center ..

Atlantic city? sounds like fun, he lets get a couple of mentors together and go card counting...

Re: 2009 FIRST Championship dates!
 
thanks for the heads-up.:D
I will say this, if our school somehow allowed weeks 1,2,3 regional attendance away from school, I'd do it in a heartbeat!

We should just do away with our winter, fall and spring breaks and coincide it with the regional weekends.:rolleyes:
We spend our breaks working on robotics anyways.
