Those are just typos for now, I assure you.
I registration and all that is messed up. You can barley hold an off-season with 19 teams, never mind a regional. Also a regional, has to have a minimum of 40 teams, period. Last year there were regionals with 70+ teams, so I think when it all gets sorted out, you will see the numbers in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and maybe 80s. |

sometimes what they do is hold spots for rookie teams, or maybe NY teams. some of the NASA sponsored regionals hold spots for the NASA sponsored teams that won a grant. im sure that is the reason.

24 teams is, traditionally, the minimum number a regional can support, not 40. New York City is a new venue. I suspect that the limit is 24, but, like you say, they're playing it safe. Most of the regionals are under-filled. |

well, you can only register for one event right now, so some regionals have 3 teams registered, but registration is opened up again on November 1st i believe.

im not one that gets used to change quickly. but comparing riverbank to columbia. i would have to say that this change was mandatory in order to hold a nice size regional in NYC without squashing the teams in the pits / field and stands. Riverbank is a bit larger 19 teams is probably a typo; there should be at least 27 going. and thanks to me my team remembered that they needed to sign for this regional. the only other team from staten island NY going besides us is team 375 Robotics Plague. Unfortunaetly Team 371 The Cyber Warriors will not be accompany us to S.I. teams at NYC regionals on top of it all I don't think there competing at all this year.

Smaller NYC Regional in 2003
yeh, with the new venue and smaller resources the
NYC Regional organizer is reducing the number of teams to 23 (19 is a typo). If you really, really, really want to attend the NYC-Regional call the: Ana Lucia Martinez Co-Director, New York City FIRST! Polytechnic University 6 Metrotech Center JB 358 Brooklyn NY 11201 718-260-3383 Good luck! ![]() |

Rumor has it that columbia pulled out at the last minute. Is it true?

It's true...
The previous president of Columbia retired and a
new president came on board but he turn out to be a non-supporter of FIRST and it's mission. So NYC-FIRST was shown the door. ![]() |

Ok everybody, you heard what Rich said. We have non-supporters at Columbia.
You know what that means, don't give Columbia your tuition money!! Boycott Columbia!! |
