I'm missing the Social pics, someone else have to post them. (Mike? Mark? where are you) The comedian was.... The Jazz Jam was good The punk rock band .....(no comment) The Step Teams were awksome! BTW- NYC Regional challenges all the other Regionals to a 2004 photo gallery contest! The most pics posted will be the winner. Simple rule: all pics must be from that regional! (Nats don't count) Last edited by Rich Wong : 30-03-2004 at 19:07. |

Re: Week#4 - NYC FIRST! Regional & Social
The Good - The competition site was located at a very nice arena, and the competition ran pretty smoothly. The volunteers did an excellent job resetting the field. There was a lot of cheering and enthusiasm. I was extremely surprised and excited to see Woody Flowers attending this regional. After all, I consider Woody Flowers to have god-like status, especially at a FIRST event. So yes, Woody Flowers is a god.
The Bad - Sometimes the field would mysteriously drop balls without warning, even when a match has not started. Rumor has it that another team was chanting to our team, "Go back to where ever you came from, or we will shoot you." I was not there to witness this, but they were also the same team that pegged some of us with the candy we passed out towards the end of the regional. and The Ugly - On Friday morning, some of the organizers of the event did not have match lists printed out, and announced numerous times that they will let everybody in the pit know when the match lists are ready to be given out. Frustrated, "Granny" (Sorry, I do not know her name) the pit announcer yelled, "We will let you guys know when the match lists are ready, do not ask for them again!" A sarcastic member from another team tested her patience by jumping up and down while yelling back at her, "When will the match lists be ready?" She angrily picked up the microphone and screamed, "H377 NO!" (Note: written in l33t for censorship) The pit erupted with laughter and applause. Too bad it was her last year as a pit announcer for the New York City Regional. |

Edit:// Pictures Are now up on my site http://firstprojects.tripod.com Just click on the corresponding Day and it will prompt you to download it. All files have been Zipped. Day1 = 1.27 MB Day2 = 3.67 MB Day3 = 5.43 MB Now I know these files are huge for the average 56 K User so If you would like I can email you the pictures to your email address. In Sections however This is open to 56 K users. The people with DSL / Cable or any other High speed internet should be able to D/L all this with in a matter of 5 - 10 Minutes So if you have 56K and would like to get the pictures in sections let me know. Also I can send individual pictures to you, you just have to email me and / post here / PM / IM me and let me know which ones you want to see. Till I can figure out an easier way to do this. This will be the going method temporarily. So far everyone can upload white papers yet I cannot upload Zip files on CD till I get that worked out with Brandon you will have to go to my site. I would do individual pictures but its like 300 somewhat pictures and 1/2 to 3/4 of them are competition Last edited by mtaman02 : 31-03-2004 at 01:52. |

Re: Week#4 - NYC FIRST! Regional & Social
Hey, did anybody get a copy of that song the judges were singing on Saturday (I think) during the opening ceremonies? It would be nice to get the lyrics.

Is it me or was the slide of the lyrics going at a different pace?

Re: Week#4 - NYC FIRST! Regional & Social
I remember in 2002 the judges sang "If I only had a robot" and it was referenced to Team 522 's Dorothy. Every year the judges come up with a great sounding tune to kickoff the final day of competition
Yeah so any way Rich get the 2004 song so I can email it to the peeps over at 522 headquarters for them to post on the wall. |

Re: Week#4 - NYC FIRST! Regional & Social
FIRST JUDGES SONG!
Saturday, March 27, 2004 New York City (To the melody of “Would you like to swing on a star?”) Would you like to swing on a bar? Or throw five-point balls from afar? Does your robot drive like a car? Then you’re a winner here at FIRST! Do you like to talk about torque? Do you think six weeks is too short? Is sleep what you can’t afford? Then you’re a mentor here at FIRST! Did you paint your whole body pink? Are purple robes and hats more your thing? Did you cheer every team that you’ve seen? Then you’re a booster squad at FIRST! Is engineering more fun than you thought? Are you keen to take Bill Gate’s spot? Do you think Dean and Woodie are HOT? Then your future starts at FIRST! authored by Connie Crawford, VP at MTA :-) |
