On schedule-

NYC FIRST Social for Friday Evening starting 6pm:

1. Comedian/ MC
2. Team Cheerleading/Step Teams
3. Jazz Jam



Another update today (3/22/04)
Food will be allowed in the stands! The Regional Directors are paying extra to clean-up, so now teams can buy food from outside and eat in the stands.
But PLEASE, help us keep the place clean; use the garbage cans.

A menu of food places around the neighborhood will be available at the PIT Admin Table. Come by and ask for it!

RICH YOU ARE THE MAN! I WILL DEFINTIELY NOT BE MISSING THE ALLIANCE PAIRINGS THIS TIME. Not like NJ anyways lol.

I hear your announcer over there is going to ROCK!!!!

But, I can not tell who it is yet. It's a secret in our little CD community.

no fair since you can't come ..... oh well no reason to cry over a secret that will be exposed in lets say 2 days. I can hardly wait.


Edit:// too lazy to post or reply so I'll edit instead. To post#14. Your more then welcome to come I'm just upset your team wasn't able to get in.

A side subject:

Is any of the Teams out there finding the FRC Team Roster for 2004 in both HTML / MS WORD format useful. I would like some feed back this way I know in advance whether or not it should be updated for next year!

Changes I know of
A) I will be sticking to using HTML since it takes up less space then MS WORD
B) Content on it Shall be Limiting it to School Name and not School Name and Sponsor since this is the bulk of the text when it comes down to teams with like 25 sponsors. It will continue to have the web page links in a sepereate column. Team Numbers will of course be kept there.
C) The look of it will change. colors will be appropriately chosen so that Color ink isn't wasted.

Awww I'm sorry you and the other ppl on your team can't go. I wish that we where going to NYC too, but it's cool with all the stuff there telling us that where gonna do in San Jose I'm sure will have a nice time. Is your team going to Nationals?

[mtaman02]

Ok this is it.

The last 10 hrs b4 the NYC Regional begins. First off I hope all the teams there have an excellent practice run for thursday as well as those who have already competed :-) . Thursday I'm not sure what will be posted as far as stats are concerened. those who attend i'm sure will find something. The majority will probably be pictures.

Any pictures that I take will be posted on CD in bulk (Zipped files Under the names NYC Day1 Zip# "X" / NYC Day 2 Zip# "X" and NYC Day3 Zip#"X") These pictures will be posted as soon as I can get them off the camera and zipped and uploaded. These files are non exsistant and will exsist after 3/25/04 @ approx 8:30PM or later this is NYC Day1 pictures. NYC Day2 Pictures will exsist 3/26/04 @ approx 11:30PM or later. NYC Day3 Pictures will exsist 3/27/04 @ approx 8:30PM

All Times are subject to change w/o notice. All times are EST.

Regional Results will probably be posted through out the day pending teams who can find a dial up service. ..... - Mine will be the local library :-) If there is one in the area lol.

This thread is already full of non-relative NYC FIRST! Info so I bid thee good luck and Keep an eye on this thread and much more. Now as every FIRST-A-HOLIC like myself should be doing I'll be getting ready for the NYC Regionals. Almost said the NYC Lotto Jackpot. ;-)

[mtaman02]

Yes So Team 522 did win an award Awesome they deserve it. I was busy helping 334 with their drive train issues and was unable to make the award ceremony. And soon after that was on a bus to go home b/c of traffic related issues. Oh well maybe next year :-( *cries*. On a happier note I have pictures from both Day 1 and Day 2 BUT you probably won't see them up till Mid-Afternoon Day3. If your nice maybe Brandon will approve the zipped files quicker if asked.


Edit://
NOTE** I AM HAVING EXTREME DIFFICULTY IN UPLOADING THE REGIONAL PICS. I CONTINUE TO GET AN ERROR THAT IS IN THE PHP PROGRAM AND REQUIRES BRANDONS PRESENCE . SO UNTIL HE RETURNS FROM CHICAGO (HES OUT WATCHING A REGIONAL) I'LL SEE IF HE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
UNTIL THE PHP ERROR IS FIXED I HAVE DECIDED TO PLACE THE PICTURES ON MY SITE. YOU MAY DOWNLOAD THEM FROM THERE OR WAIT TILL THE WHITE PAPERS SECTION IS LOOKED AT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE!

PICTURES MAY COME OUT BLURRY OR DISCOLORED. I TRIED DELETING AS MANY AS I COULD !!!!!!!!!!!
