For it's first year doing the FRC in 2005, the Gordon Field House at Rochester Institute of technology was a great venue.

1) Good-sized pit area and space to queue-up for matches
2) Great mosh pit for dancing at one end of the field
3) Great seating on both "long-sides" of the field
4) Great music, great MC's, great campus food, etc.

Looking forward to MUCH MORE of the same this year.

And, if the Rochester weather holds true, maybe the 'bots can startup their own snowball cannon fight in the parking lot...ha, ha. But human players are NOT allowed to throw snowballs on campus.....definately not GP as a guest of the university.

See y'all there. All rookie teams MUST stop by Team 1511 Rolling Thunder pit for special meet & greet!

[Hiteak]

This will be another great event. It will remind me of those Rutger's University Regionasl back in the day where it's a nice cozy bunch of teams that close to all the action.Maybe tehy'll figure out how to webcast it this year.

FLR rocked last year, Have to agree with JVN on it being one of the best regionals i've been too. No robotics for me this year I'll make my comeback next year. (unless im living the biodome lifestyle down in antartica for 6 weeks, hopefully it wont be a problem)

[jzampier]

I'll be there. Heck I'm already there... I live on campus.

[jzampier]

No Karoke this year folks. The Team Social has been Canceled due to lack of interest and money.

[Shu Song]

WHAT??? Which means no comedian? WAAAA!!!

It's definitely a shame that alot of the extras are being cut. To me this is a foreshadowing of things to come. Everyone is getting tighter and tighter with budgets (that's not new) but when will we end up not having the means to run the program anymore? I'm currently being asked to pinch whatever pennies we have and we've already been doing it for the last 7 years I've been involved already. From the looks of it we as volunteers already do more and more each year and sooner or later there will be a a limit that there won't be anymore volunteers left to run the program. Sure that's an extreme outlook but I think teams are being stretched too thin lately.
