I have started this thread for questions & comments related to the NYTV Regional Competition on March 16-19th in Troy.
Team 4481 is already excited for the NYTV regional, in a week we will leave the Netherlands to visit New York and compete in the NYC Regional one week later we are competing at NYTV. Good luck to you all with the last preperations for the regional! We're planning to make a picture database for the NYTV regional with additional information, so if you already have some nice pictures of your awesome robot feel free to send them: info@teamrembrandts.com. Thnx ![]() |

QUOTE] Safe travels and see you in a few weeks, if you need any travel/food/entertainment suggestions for the Albany area feel free to ask and I can make some suggestions. 1493 is really excited about this years regional. A few months ago people were talking about the "hardest/best" event this year and I think the NYTV is a sleeper. So many really good teams are attending the event and from what I have seen so far from many of the local teams its going to be very competitive. I am interested in seeing what alliances form on Saturday. Hopefully we will be joining one |

Coming from a volunteer or mentor perspective, you have to hit up Brown's Brewing Company. |

Re: New York Tech Valley Regional
Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Chaperoning kids + brewhouse = fired.

Re: New York Tech Valley Regional
195 took over Dino BBQ for dinner one night while at TVR last year. HIGHLY recommend it. Good food, Good atmosphere, and they can certainly fit a large number of people (IIRC, we brought 80+) .

Troy is full of excellent little places to eat, most of which are not "large group of high school students" friendly, but are all delicious. Muddaddy Flats is a take out / eat in fast casual quesadillary, with a variety of delicious options. They should be big enough for a team or two. Up the hill by the Wal-Mart is Pancho's, a decent Mexican restaurant great for large groups. Lots of the best restaurants (Brown's, Bombers [though that just closed down, right?], etc) are also bars, so you probably can't take kids there. Flying Chicken is a pretty good soul food place, but it's close enough to a less than desirable neighborhood that I can understand if you're sketched out by it I'll edit a few more places into this post once I remember. |

Re: New York Tech Valley Regional
On TVR's competitiveness:
Wow this regional is tough. 359 is the obvious one to point out, traveling from Hawaii. Also traveling from afar is 4481 with an excellent looking machine. Traveling from Ohio is 48 and from Canada is 3990. All of these away-teams have a track record of success, and I expect them to up the ante for TVR like some of the away teams from last year did. From the Capital Region, 2791 looks to have their best machine yet, 20 is coming off an Einstein appearance. 5236 has a solid breaching machine, and 4203 has a cool robot. Some other typical contenders from the Capital Region like 3044, 1493, and 250 are probably going to be excellent as well. From Western NY are 3003, 1551 who usually build solid machines, and 5254, who revealed our prototype machine during Week 3 of build season, and has been working hard ever since. 229 is coming from Northern NY, and they have a history of success, as well as 333 from downstate, who revealed a beautiful machine yesterday at premiere night. Lastly, we have a crop of rookies, one from China, 5879, and three others, 5881 from Albany, 5943 from Carmel, and 5964 from Voorheesville all coming to us for the first time. I'm beyond excited for TVR, and I can't wait to see what the Tech Valley can do against some of these out-of-state powerhouses! |

Re: New York Tech Valley Regional
I am interested in seeing how this regional will play out; it seems quite competitive this year.
After reviewing the pit layout, I cannot seem to find team 3003. Did they forget to add their pit? |

I'm really looking forward to this event. It's got everything! I don't think I can remember attending an event this small that has looked so competitive top-to-bottom. Add onto that the fact that we have teams from Ohio, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Montreal, The Netherlands, and China? What? This is going to be incredible. |
