Me and dustin will most likely be at New York and we might even bring some friends along. Looks like it will be a pretty interesting regional with so many teams. If I am there any teams willing to adpot me for the day or two? ^_^

It's a great idea, but why are you excluding FTC teams?

Just curious because I have no idea: Is NYC the only week 6 regional because that's just the way that scheduling worked out?

I'm not on the planning comittee so I can't give a definitive answer, but It's probably because that's the earliest weekend within the regional competition window that the Javits centre was available.

Also it's Fri-Sun because that's how Javits books their conventions. The first day a group is able to book is Friday, so NYC will have all the eyes of the FIRST world on it this weekend.

Never!
You are already in the Mentor Team!

Or if you are a chicken like me, volunteer and be the Social Emcee!!!

Sorry, you are right. FTC should be included.
This is the first year we are trying the Team Poster Contest so we will start with FRC since they are arriving on Friday. I am hoping it will become an annual project for the FIRST teams.

FTC should be included next year! (I just can think that fast!)

The best place to view the link will be here since it will also list an archive of the matches and is the smallest url to remember.

An alternative is
http://robotics.arc.nasa.gov/events/...s.php#webcasts
The links will be available Saturday morning.

Should be a lot of fun!

Based on New Jersey, I would say MAYBE Friday afternoon, but I wouldn't bet on anything.
