Although "unacceptable," I unfortunately will not be able to attend the Philly regional this year. I will be at the UCF Relay for Life all night long, however. Best of luck to everyone, perhaps I will be able to come again next year.

It sounds like My HP and I are going to go scout out the area tomorrow as long as nothing else comes up. If I find anything cool I'll definitely post it up here.

My brother David works at Temple, and set up everything for archiving the Philly Regional.

GO 304!!!!!

Re: 2009 Philadelphia Regional
 

First time at the Philadelphi Regional - looking forward to meeting all the teams and seeing all the robots.

Quick Question - On which side of the building will we be loading in all our tools and bins on a cart?

Thanks

Re: 2009 Philadelphia Regional
 

From what I have heard, teams will be loading in carts through the loading dock which is to the left of the main entrance to the building.

Re: 2009 Philadelphia Regional
 

It took a little digging at www.liacourascenter.com but the load-in entrance is on Briad Street at the southeast corner of the Liacouras Center -- so it is to the left of the Main Entrance. Some other info:

And, not that I'm expecting it or anything, the Center is capable of doing pyrotechnics, with a pyro permit. Just goes to show what you can find out if you dig deep enough. ;)

222 will be leaving 4:30 AM tomorrow and is looking forward to having a great time competing in Philly!

Re: 2009 Philadelphia Regional
 

I checked out the area that surrounds The Liacouras Center and I was pretty impressed. I didn't think it was in a bad area or anything, maybe if you walked about 5 blocks in any direction and got off campus you might walk into some shady characters but usually they'll have better things to worry about than you.

I also saw quite a few places to eat within like 5 minutes walking distance but I didn't check any out because I was far too lazy to get out of my car and walk.

See you all in the AM.

Good Luck at Relay for Life!!! =]

Re: 2009 Philadelphia Regional
 

Alright so we had a final prep meeting and all is set. We leave at like 5:45 tomorrow morning...

Excited as anything about this regional! See you all tomorrow, meet the new face of MORT in the morning. :cool:

Re: 2009 Philadelphia Regional
 

Good Luck to Everyone today. It looks like we've got one heck of a weekend ahead of us. I guess no one's heard of a webcast yet?

800th Post!

Re: 2009 Philadelphia Regional
 

... webcast ... please ..... someone .....

Re: 2009 Philadelphia Regional
 

The pit admin said that the schedule would not be distributed in paper form until tomorrow morning, but the FIRST website has one listed:

http://www2.usfirst.org/2009comp/eve...edulequal.html

Can anyone confirm or deny that this is the correct schedule for qualifications?

(If so, an 80 match schedule with inspection running pretty far behind will be...interesting)
