Washington DC Regional 2011
 

So, teams---who's staying where?

Re: Washington DC Regional 2011
 

Team 293 from central NJ will be there for the first time. We look forward to bring a little bit of Jersey to the capital with our fellow New Jerseyians

Re: Washington DC Regional 2011
 

Team Mercury 1089, also a central Jersey team, is going to Washington DC for the first time this year.

Well being from Nothern VA, I'm commuting every day. Depending on the load in arragements, my team may need some help with getting the robot and our tools to the convention center.

If you have questions, feel free to PM me!

Don't mean to be a bother, but wouldn't this best be served in the Regionals thread?

Good luck to all teams!

Re: Washington DC Regional 2011
 

Anyone know how the load-in is at DC. Are there ramps? Through large doors? We have a big tool chest that is too big to carry.

Re: Washington DC Regional 2011
 

The convention center in Washington has an enormous loading dock that they allow the teams to use. Load in at Washington is fantastic. They will also allow load in the evening before.

The DC Regional is probably my favorite in all the regionals I have attended in 10 years with FIRST!

I can't wait to meet all the teams new to DC and catch up with the other returning teams!

Even though we are taking this year off from DC we are planning to come up on Saturday to watch, hopefully we can bring a bunch of middle school students with us and they can see what FRC is about.

Re: Washington DC Regional 2011
 

This will be our first trip to DC as well. We won't make it in time for Wednesday night unload, but I'm glad to hear about the big loading dock. We are very excited for this regional!

Re: Washington DC Regional 2011
 

To put it in perspective, the regional is held in the same location that the DC Auto Sho is held each year. You could quite literally drive a truck through the doors into the hall. I don't think the even organizers would like it though.

Re: Washington DC Regional 2011
 

Will there be a webcast at the event this year? There are no links on the NASA list of webcasts yet...

Re: Washington DC Regional 2011
 

Be aware that while the competition is at the same venue it is in a different hall. This year its not going to be in the main hall, its going to be in one of the smaller upstairs hall, but im sure the load in will still be very good.

REX 1727 shall be at DC once again. We will be a whole lot better than we were at Chesapeake <3 <3

RED ALLIANCE! CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP! :D

From the organizers:
The Washington DC Regional will be webcast compliments of NASA at http://robotics.nasa.gov/events/2011_frcwebcasts.php. This link has been posted to the home page of the DC FIRST website at http://www.dc-first.org.

Why don't we move this discussion over to the thread in the Regional category:
