Hey Guys!

I know this is a bit late, but we (Stuypulse 694) will be hosting a social at the Fat Cat Music Club (no this is not like one of those crazy clubs with people jumping and dancing, although you're free to do so if you'd like). It's fairly cheap and there's a lot of table games you can play while hanging out with us and other teams who are competing in the NYC Regional. It's also a great opportunity to, well, socialize.

Anyway, Here's the rest of the information:
Date: Wednesday, the 6th (AKA Tomorrow)
Address: 75 Christopher Street
Directions: Closest Subway station is the 1 Train (Christopher St.-Sheridan Square Stop), you can also take the A,B,C,D,E,F,M to the W 4 St and walk a few blocks to the Fat Cat.
Time: 6-8 PM
Cost: ~$15 or less if you leave early
What to do: Pool, ping-pong, shuffleboard, fooseball, chess, checkers, backgammon, and scrabble, or just hang out.

Also: There's food in Fat Cat, but you can also order takeout from nearby restaurants (we usually end up eating together after this event, you're welcome to join). For those of you who have never been to one of our team socials before, it's very fun, and you get to hang out with people from different teams whom you will meet again in the next few days.

Hope to see you all on Wednesday!
Po.

Bringing this thread back up in case people haven't seen it yet.

I would make a separate thread for that Social Event.

We would like to thank our alliance partners teams 334 and 1635. We had an excellent run and it was very enjoyable. You guys played very well and we are grateful for having the opportunity of playing with you.

We would also like to congratulate the winning alliance teams 694,3137, and 4797. You guys played very well and facing you guys in the semifinals was the highlight of the day. It was an intense set of matches.

Thank you to all the teams that participated and good luck in any of your future events.

Despite everything, team 334 really enjoyed working with you guys and 1635. You had great bots, attitudes, and members. We look forward to working with you in the future.

I would also like to congratulate the winning alliance, especially team 3137. You guys had a tremendously ingenious design and it got you places. Have fun in St. Louis. =)

I have to say this was one of the best years of my FRC career.

And the same to you. Watching your defense was excruciatingly suspenseful; you guys definitely made us pull out our A-game and get our act together. I guarantee that everyone on our team found semis to be as intense and exhilarating as you found it - it was most certainly among the highlights of our day, if not the highlight.

Shouts out to 1660, 3171, and 4122 as well; PRIDE's level 2 climber and 1660's accuracy made us very nervous, and competing against you guys was fantastic.

As an audience member, it was very exciting watching semi-finals and finals. The replay made it even more so.

334: I admired your robot all weekend. It was consistent (and good) all weekend. As I programmer by trade, I admire the consistency.

375: Thank you for helping us fix our shooter. You showed what Gracious Professionalism is all about. I'm going to Chesapeake for fun and hope to see you in finals there.

1660: It was great seeing you win Chairmans. I'll never forget the first year I did crowd control when you were sitting right by the area I was "guarding." I asked to buy a granola bar (thinking it was a fundraiser) and was just given one. And the team helped me keep the area clear. While all the students on the team then have since graduated, the gesture made an impression on me and helped me enjoy the experience enough to come back. And later become a mentor.

1635, 4122 and 3171: congratulations to you as well. You all fielded great robots.

The very tough build season we experienced had given us no indication that the NYC Regional would be so exciting. Thanks to all participating teams for making the competition a fun experience. Congratulations to the winners and especially to the rookie Team 4797 that was part of the winning alliance. What a thrill it must be to win the NYC Regional after climbing that steep learning curve of the first season.

Special thanks to our alliance partners 334 and 375. We played some good matches together. The qualifying match we played with 334 on our side was the turning point as far as our team's confidence was concerned.

[Delsmarto]

I too want to say thanks to Teams 1635 and 375. You fought hard and had awesome robots, its a shame we couldn't work together more. Also, congrats to the winning alliance of 694, 4797, and 3137. I remember when I met 4797 at a ConEd conference and they were so curious on how to even start, now look at them going to St Louis. I sincerely applaud those guys. As a Senior, this year really meant a lot to me and I can honestly say that I am happy with how we did. We quickly became the talk of the town among a GREAT showing of robots and I think we raised the reputation of Team 334. Thanks again to 1635 and 375, you guys really help give us a fighting chance.
