So for those of us that are uninitiated Jersians (or any travelers)

How far is the 33rd St Path Station/Ferry from Javits?

Seeing as how parking in the City will cost you more than all the G22's given out at a regional, I was thinking of taking another way in.

Any advice?

65 FRC Teams, 59 FTC Teams, 50 FLL Teams.

I hate to burst your bubble, but Greater Toronto had 66 FRC teams, making it the biggest FRC event, besides Atlanta.

It did not, however, have FTC or FLL tournaments happening simultaneously; so, as far as the "regional" title goes, this is the largest.

Park in Hoboken or JC, and take the ferry. Drops you off behind Javitts. Then a short 2-3 block walk.

My friends and I are about to leave for NYC. See everyone tomorrow.

no chatting about todays 1st day, with 69 teams in attendance?

It's a brisk half mile downhill from the PATH...shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes. Take the the train instead of the Ferry, unless you like throwing away cash.

Yeah, I think we're taking either the PATH train, or apparently my hotel offers a shuttle to the city that I might take advantage of.

If you don't hear from me by tomorrows opening ceremonies, look for me in the Hudson, cause I probably decided to swim.

[arhajder]

Today was a long rough day. I dont even know what i am still doing up. Well Good Night!

[blaxbb]

did anyone else think the matches were kind of aggressive for practice rounds, or is that just week six setting in?

[Akash Rastogi]

Just curious, but how many (and which) teams had a good autonomous in practice rounds and what was the autonomous strategy? Thanks

They came REALLY close at Pittsburgh, I expect to see good stuff out of them.
