We will be a different hall than we were in last year, but the entrance is the same. Use the map as a guide for team layout. We didn't work to convey any other information about the pits in the map. There will still be the Con Ed Machine Shop and the Practice Field by the wall closest to the pit entrance.

Any webcast link?

So is the field going to be in the same place as usual, or was that moved as well?

Any idea what hall? Will the other competitions being going on as well. There will be 10x10 pits correct? Just wondering.

We are excited!

Figured I would post some progress of the GIS map I am making of all the teams going.

I started with the 42 teams from the 5 boroughs. And, This is is what it looks like.

Jim,

Not to worry, you'll be in good company. It looks like you guys have a rookie team on one side of you and lots of experience from the NY area all around. Looking forward to meeting you.

I expect to get a glimpse at that Suburban!

Safe travels

It looks like there will be lots to see and do with every facet of FIRST represented at some point

To answer a few questions,
Yes the event will be held in a different (slightly smaller) Hall this year(still at the Javits!!). I don't think it is much to be concerned about. We always had an abundance of space in the hall we are used to.
The pits were confirmed to be 10x10, early load in is allowed in the times listed on the agenda but no early setup this year(now that FIRST has left that option to the events discretion).

There will be a webcast this year, and we shouldn't be fighting bandwidth issues like we have the past few.
We will have the link posted by early next week the latest and will be sure to share it here, on Twitter, and with TBA.
See everyone next weekend!

would anybody (or any team) be willing to input their scouting data from the event either during or after into my scouting database?

I'm hoping to get information from all competitions, and do some neat stats info and whatnot

please PM me if you'd like to help!

the pit layout is a little different because we are in Hall 3E this year which is a smaller & the overall layout is a little different. Pits are at the back as always

A smaller hall means a smaller walk from the pits to the bathroom. So, its never a bag thing IMO.

There was always so much wasted space anyway.
