Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

It's getting closer. As the weeks until Atlanta begin to wind down, teams are starting to prepare for it. So, this begs the question, what hotel is everyone staying at? I know for me, being able to talk and hang out with other teams was half the fun, and a lot of that was done at the hotel (shout out to 176, best end hallway party ever!)

So I'll start. 1124 is at the Embassy Suites :)

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

I think 116 is staying at the Holiday Inn, not exactly sure, unfortunately, it's no OMNI D:

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

Team 11 will be at the Omni once again.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

176 will again be at the Omni this year.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

I'll be at my house, driving down each day.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

Team 2345 is staying at the hampton on 78.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

Team 1086 Blue Cheese will be in the Westin this year! Hope to see you all there and Good Luck!

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

2415 will be at the Westin again! Looking forward to Championships already :)

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

294 will be at the Westin.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

for people who have stayed at the Omni and Marquis, which is actually more fun? I will most likely be going as a volunteer again this year, and im debating on where to stay

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

We stayed at the Omni in 2006 and were not big fans.

I've stayed at the Marquis 3 times now and much prefer it in every regard except distance.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

Stayed at both and couldn't really tell the difference. Omni's internet is worse, Marquis costs money. Both have comfy beds. That's all I really noticed other than walking distance, where the Omni wins.

Still figuring out arrangements myself, so I'll let y'all know. :)

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

I'm not sure where the Aussies will be staying but I've been told it's a "modest hotel outside of Atlanta"

Thanks,

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

706 will be at the downtown residence inn.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

In the pits ...... inspecting your robot! :cool:

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

816 will be at the Westin Peachtree again this year.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?

We hope to meet a bunch of new teams!!

see you there!!

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

At my house watching the webcast...
(unless bacon decides to let me go with them!!!)

;)

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

Aren't you guys based in Atlanta?

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

Haha, yup. Quirk of ours...we've always stayed in a hotel. Plus, with kids from all over Atlanta, it actually is easier to stay in a hotel to have meetings every night and whatnot.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

Wow...we try to prevent hotel-ness. We are about half an hour out, and we drive down all 3.5 days.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

I (personally) gave up on trying to prevent hotel-ness, as you put it, long ago. Rather than the kids, I think it was originally the coaches' decision because they didn't want to drive every day. Since then...eh, we've gone with the flow.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

148 will be at the Marquis again.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

I believe 3125 will be at the Westin Peachtree. Well, the hotel had the name "Peachtree" in it, at least.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

Team 108 will be at the Omni.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

Team 115 will also be at the Westin Peachtree. See you there!

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

You can always fly up ($140-170/rt MCO to ATL). I booked mine a few days ago for like $145 after taxes.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

I'll be there with team 1612. We just had our first regional win and this will be our first time going to Nationals. Good luck everybody!

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

Bacon will be at the Wyndam Gardens along with Krunch and BAD. Adam, I'm working on it

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

343 in the Marquis.
Hey that rhymes.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

I will either be at one of my brother's or my sisters home most likely.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

Does anyone know how many teams are still on the waiting list or where to view the waiting list?

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

DOTM 1522 will be staying at the Embassy Suites near Centennial Park!
Good luck to all the teams! See ya' there!

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

Can someone comment on the Days Inn right in downtown?
I tried the omni many weeks ago and it was booked!
We're getting rental cars anyhow again, even though it kills our bank account.
This will be our biggest group yet as it approaches 35 for our team. You dont want to see our airfare bill!

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?

Any plans for IRI? That was an awesome robot not to be in Atlanta:(

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

548 Robostangs are at Holiday Inn downtown. I'm at the Omni because I'm too tired to stumble across the park at the end of the day! :)

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

I plan on sitting at home or with the team watching on nasa. Have fun everyone.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

We will apply for the IRI and I hope they accept us.
One of these days we will find the formula for winning a regional. We have been a finalist two times and one quarterfinal in our 6 year history. Always a bridesmaid, never the bride.

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
 

We'll be frying up SPAM and eggs, tucked in under the flight path, at the Holiday Inn- Airport South

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?

Re: Atlanta 2010: Where Will You Be?
