We haven't done any off-season events in a while but did discuss it- so Ill say it's possible we would do that event - but not tremendously likely either. We will see...
Awesome see you guys at the SBPLI regional. Our team #'s are really close so our pits will be close. If you need a workshop or dumping point for any reason our school is about 20 minutes away from Hofstra and we would be happy to help.

For those who posted before I may say that driving isnt really the issue. You can get through the tunnel $@#$@#$@# long as it isnt rush hour in 5 minutes and javits is blocks away from the tunnel. The issue is parking. I had a press pass to Engadget Expand but, I had a training camp at Temple University the next day so I had my mom stop at the convention and then leave later to our hotel in PA. After finally finding parking 5 blocks away she had to pay $40 for 2 hours. I honestly felt so bad. So for everyone who said driving is bad because of traffic then you should also know this fact. The walk from Penn isnt bad at all I do it all the time. You also pass a lot of places to eat over there, and B&H photo which I visit whenever it is open. We do it every year we attend the NYC regional and its fun. Ironically enough assuming you guys are going to take a trip to NYC during your stay I encourage you to check out the Javits Center. Its glass dome is amazing looking and its massive.
