It's a venue thing, the best deal for the NYC Javits Center is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

But be the benefit is we are the only FRC regional today!

335, 1156, and especially 2554 (EWCP), that was such sick defensive play on 2344 and 1155. You guys should definitely be proud of yourselves, we are proud of you over here on MORT.

Also great job by 1302! Glad to see some MORT teams doing well. You guys played hard and those were great matches.

Update: 1807 is being beastly against 2753's alliance. Guess 1807 really wanted a rematch after our run in Trenton

Update: 743 is amazing at playing defense, they're shutting out Stuy Pulse. Crazy 1155, 2344, and 743 make a VERY good alliance.

Update: 56 and 1807 took out the #1 alliance, doesn't look like 2753 will get two wins after all =/. Awesome job though guys. Amazing job by 1807. I knew you guys could do it. Just two more matches and you will make my prediction come true from NJ.

Crap....both 1155 and 1807 are in the finals. =( I'm conflicted.

Update: 1807 and 56 just took the first finals match. This is epic. Very close matches. Both alliances have dominating defensive robots on their side. 68-66

Update: BIG CONGRATS TO 1807, 56 and 1796!!! ^_^ (56, Mr. Bodmer says congratulations!) very happy to see our partner from Trenton win it big in NYC!

1155 and 2344 you guys were great the whole weekend. Sucked to see two alliances I really liked playing against each other.

I'd like to throw this in there from a post in the NJ regional thread:

I was extremely impressed. We definitely look forward to working with you this season and good luck at NYC! I know you can win that regional. Just go out there and do it.

Ill find you in the pits either today or tomorrow

Sorry we weren't able to meet up to trade anytime this week.
I didn't go on CD to see that message since I left Friday morning.
Maybe next year or later this year at an off-season??
I'm not sure if I'm heading down to NY or NJ or Atlanta for the remainder of the 2009 season.

[neoshaakti]

Very good matches today! Congrats to all teams that participated in the NY Regionals, thanks for making it awesome!

Special shout out to team 335 and team 1156 for being awesome alliance partners!!!

Also, special thanks to StuyPulse for being so awesome and helping us out in the pits

Also a big “Thank You” to the students for helping us with FLL setup on Friday.

This regional was so much fun! Thank you so much team 56, for selecting us in alliance selection. And 1796, you guys were amazing! We played some really close matches, and i still find it hard to believe that we went 6-0 in elimination matches. Congratulations to 2344, for winning chairmans! Its amazing that a second year team won this award. Everyone did a great job, and i'm looking forward to seeing some of you in Atlanta!

Saturday night i told my parents that if we went 8-0 on Sunday, our 2009 record would be 18 wins, 0 ties, and 7 losses. And it happened just like that. How many teams can say their record is their team number?
