As pit captain, I always skipped lunch, and I expect you to do the same (j/k about the second part).

I'll have a copious amount of fruit punch in our pits which you're welcome to.

Ate Doors Down: Just past the CVS. Absolutely delicious, my favorite. They make their own breads on premises, which makes a huge difference. Try their small pizza - they use their own pita as the crust.

Chinese Place whose name I forgot: right next to Ate doors. They do a buffet, it is ok.

Koi Japan: Across the street from the CVS. I ate there once, and will never do so again. Avoid at all cost.

Consuelo's: Go to the CVS, turn left up the alley. Delicious Mexican food. Note that I'm a New Englander, you can make your snide comments about "real mexican" all you want, I don't care. I like it.

Wicked Good Deli: Across from the Quiznos. Good cheap food. Used to be my favorite, then Ate Doors Down opened.

B&B: Turn right at Ben&Jerry's. Best Caesar Wrap in town, although slightly hard to eat cleanly.

Cafe 324: On Commercial Street. Got sick eating their food 4 times in the past. Since then, an employee was fired for mishandling food, so it might be better. I still won't eat there, even though it is in the same building that I work in.

Tiya's: Turn right after the big citizen's bank. Good Thai.

Lala's: Across the street from the big citizen's bank and slightly before it. Great Hungarian food. 10$ish, but will stick to your ribs. Best sides in town.

Red Arrow Diner: On Lowell street. Only 24hr food place in town. Good greasy diner.

I'd like to add one more onto the list:

Caesario's Pizza & Subs: It's a little longer walk up Elm Street than most of the other places listed here, but they have great hot/cold subs and pizza. On a related note, if you take advantage of the free municipal parking garage on Saturday, Caesario's is only a half block away from there.

As EricVanWyk said, there's plenty of good eats within 10 minutes of the Verizon, although I'd suggest you run your lunches in shifts as the local eateries tend to get overrun with teams during the lunch break and the match schedules tend to slip (making reservations rather difficult).

Again, if you need a local guide, look me up ... I'll probably be in our pits most of the day :rolleyes:

see y'all in just a few days :D

haha, yah I will probably be in the pits all day too, so food will come from begging it off of passerbyer's/ team members who have nothing to do so I pay them to buy me food xP

Cool, maybe I'll send one of the team's mentors down your way

See everyone in 3 days (or four days if you are coming on Friday...)

For food, I recommend Joe Kelly's. It's a very popular choice among robotics teams during the competiton, so you'll be lucky if you find the "right time" go in just between rushes.

The food is excellent and not too expensive.

Take a right out of the Verizon, cross the street, and start walking. It's not too far away.

The number of places to eat within walking distance is one of the great things about GSR.

One more thing before I leave you all alone haha, is there going to be a website where we can upload or look at pictures from the regional?

I know last year Team 20 went to Finger Lakes and there wasn't really an all-encompassing multimedia focused website =[

Currently sitting in my hotel watching LOST and finishing up the scouting sheet. Can't wait to watch the game unfold tomorrow!

Great practice matches today, the referees sorted out confusion in the rules relatively quickly, and made sure to reiterate any clarifications throughout the day.

Hope to see some exciting matches tomorrow!

How or why were trailers coming unhitched?

It could either be from faulty trailers, or bad/loose trailer hitches on the robots.

the clips that they use to hold the trailer pin on aren't very tight, the metal rod can be easily bent and slipped off during a big hit.

Were they using the Mcmaster pin FIRST recommended?
