Haha oops I'm thinking of the FLR regional which I know you'll be at, and confused that with RPI, which 2791 is at.

I need sleep

SpaceX is launching their Falcon 9 rocket for a resupply mission to the ISS; if you guys are still in the state, in the area, and aren't too pooped after Saturday, I would recommend catching it if you've never seen a launch. Its still pretty dang visible even this far inland.

Why watch it inland, when we are only a 45 minute drive to see it closer? I'm considering getting up at 3:30am and heading over, if anyone wants to know the best spot to watch it, ask me this week.

Can't wait to see eveyone!

I received several messages from South Florida teams that the Turnpike north was shut down and I95 was a parking lot because of fires. I'm assuming that is why so few teams unloaded tonight. Should be a busy morning.

Garage F directly behind the arena is your best bet. Most of the surrounding garages will be filled with students. This year it will be pretty much first come, first serve.

Tytus:

If you are a volunteer, park in F, if not park in D.

You can park in garage D, F, or H.

Parking shouldn't be too bad provided you don't arrive after 9 am or so.

Not sure what the specific parking rules are, but be careful not to park in any spaces designated 'B' or 'C' permits only as you may get a parking ticket.

Team Chaos #1421 is so excited about competing in Orlando! While we will be competing with familiar teams (456, 1912, 2080, and 624), we are also excited about meeting new teams. We met some members of Team Pink 233 today on our Kennedy Space Center Tour and loved the energy! So excited about this regional!
