We are very lucky. One of those bouncy balls landed not in the construction area but right next to us in the lobby.
I'll let all you bright students calculate the damage that can be done by solid objects dropped from great heights. The Marquis was filled with FIRST students and volunteers.

We stayed at the Westin. We enjoyed taking the Scenic elevator to the observation level on the 72nd floor. (free to hotel guests) Other than that we also enjoyed waiting 20 min to catch a regular elevator in the morning!

Re: What is your team up to at your hotel?

I spent most of my nights trying to print off our pictures for the FIRST book submission. Night 1: Brought the printer back to the hotel, I had everything ready, but the wall plug half of the printer power cord was left in the pits. Night 2: Again, I had everything ready and this time the printer was all there, except for the driver disc. Night 3: Awww yeah... I got everything printed off, but just barely ran out of photo paper.

Much fun... not. I did get a chance to swim on Firday night and I was going to make a funny 648 commercial that involved a man thong with our logo on it and some members of 107 but I never got around to doing it.

Re: What is your team up to at your hotel?

We stayed at the Hyatt

the lead mentor and some od the seniors went back and forth trying to prank eachother.
And a little bit of socializing with other teams and guests at the hotel.
And we also went to work out in the weight room.


As for the last security issues....we where also told we could not meet in the hotel because a few rooms had complained. After asking what rooms, the security guard named the rooms, but the funny part was.....they all belonged to us O well. It was fun tho

Re: What is your team up to at your hotel?

We stayed at the Sleep Inn. Each night, our team picked a hotel room and basically acted stupid. We played card games, watched TV, painted nails, surfed the 'net, etc. Lots of team bonding...

Re: What is your team up to at your hotel?

342 stayed at the Hyatt. Anyone there Saturday after we checked out in the morning notice anything unusual about the 16th floor elevator lobby? PM me if you did, we're just curious how long it lasted.

Re: What is your team up to at your hotel?

First off someone tries to find or set up an internet connection for the team(you know, the important thing) but most of us have PSP's or DS's, and a lot of us just play cards if there is nothing else to do...

I'll let all you bright students calculate the damage that can be done by solid objects dropped from great heights. The Marquis was filled with FIRST students and volunteers.
Assuming that the bouncyball weighs a tenth of a pound (or so, .05kg to be precise), dropped from the very top of the atrium to the very bottom...

67.13 Newtons.

That is (assuming I remember correctly) four times the force of a golfball dropped from one meter.

So yeah. It'd hurt. Because golf balls dropped from one meter hurt. But this would hurt more.

EDIT: Whoops! For some reason 40 * 4 = 60 in my brain

but basically it's a lot of force. And would hurt. Even if you take off the 2m or so from the height (assuming it hits a 2m tall person on top of the head) it's still going to hurt.

edit:

that's 2.7m/s, or .1mph.


edit (yes again):

It will take 52 seconds to hit the ground, too.

edit (whee):

I did some more math

here's the full thing:
"A bouncyball dropped from the top of the atrium at the Mariott Marquis, assuming it weighs .05kg, Will hit the ground with a force of 67.13N. The ball falls at a speed of 2.78m/s and will take 52 seconds to hit the ground. Assuming optimal conditions, that's going to be a 132m rebound at 90% effeciency. The ball, dropped from the 47th floor, will get back up to the 42nd floor."

Re: What is your team up to at your hotel?

...My cousin used to borrow my N64 for Latin trips when he was in high school and I was like 10. Now I understand why... Anyways we played Halo at one of the guys' rooms. It was actually kind of fun. But I'm not a big X-box guy... But at the IRI one of the people brought a Wii and we had a little Wii Party... Unfortunately there were only 2 controllers, but it was still fun!
