Re: RPI regional
Awesome to hear that my alma mater is pushing to run a Regional on their grounds! The Houston Field House would be a perfect venue for this. I actually haven't seen the new football field/ECAV (built the year after I graduated) -- does it really have enough indoor space to host a competition?
I don't think the Armory would be a suitable place, not large enough and its logistically difficult with the multiple floors and surrounding parking availability
Hoping to come back for my 5 year reunion this fall to see ECAV.
Anyway, I got to reunite with Larry Ruff at Championship, who was a Woody Flowers Award winner this past year (finally) and has done a ton to promote FRC. He still runs the manufacturing lab at the school, and I was a student in his Engineering Design class where our design role was to mentor the local Albany High School FRC team.
Prof Paul Schoch is also a big advocate, and also attended Championship as a judge this year.
Anyway, keep me up to date with this news.
