I'm going to attempt to be there on the sunday...

Chesapeake on saturday, NYC on sunday? Wow, I'm not gonna be sleeping much.

...but TWO regionals in ONE weekend?! I'm so excited, I won't even care.

Still can't get to NASA's site to see what Web casts they will be doing this year - oh well. Sleep what sleep, I'm not gonna see any sleep till the earliest Monday afternoon =(. Got to do the regional and go to work back to back =). Maybe I'll break my record for staying up 52 hours or more =). Anyway I'll be at the venue today to set things up if I get a chance I'll snap some pictures. Sarah are you going to NYC?

Wayne, George and Mike oh my this regional will be excellent. *Cries* I wonder what happen to Shaniqua, How could she leave NY and NJ =(.

Here's to hoping the Javits center won't leak!


Those tarps covering the ceiling panels are always a bit disconcerting...

IN CASE OF SERIOUS FLOODING, GRAB A RINGER AND HANG ON!

[George A.]

Well look at it this way. if the roof leaks, and the snow falls in, we'll have plenty of tubes for sledding!

[Nawaid Ladak]

a sunday regional is the best thing ever...

because now, your gona have teh national FIRST attention focoused soley on your webcast

don't disappoint guys, good luck to everyone

(if we can do NYR on a Sunday, why not make nats 4 days)

[George A.]

The whole country watching OUR webcast? I don't know if we can handle it...oh wait, of course we can. We're going to rock the Javitz center, and show the US what east coast robotics is!

Anywho, I'm hoping its a good show, and that we won't have any problems getting to the arena this weekend. (The weather channel is predicting about a foot of snow for NW NJ from Friday morning-saturday morning)

[WillItBlend]

wow its 5 already? lol. theres gonna be a mobile machine shop at the NYC regional (provided by NASA i believe). was it at the other regionals? kids aren't allowed on it though =/ only authorized personnel.

Sounds likely since there's only one regional that sunday!

An Important Message from the NYC Regional Director:

Pits will open at 9:00am. No one will be allowed in the pits until 9:00am

Opening ceremony will begin at 10:00am.

The entire day can be expected to run at least one hour later than originally scheduled.

Please travel safely,
