Maybe I'm just a functionalist, but I never did understand why some rooms have such high ceilings. That could be two floors easily. Oh well, maybe I'm overthinking it.

I love Javitz; it's just plain awesome architecturally. The NYC regional was great last year, and the structure itself is even more impressive in person.

(Plus, the venue itself could run simultaneous FRC and FTC competitions!)

I spy with my little eye some people from my team standing at the table with the umbrella on the bottom right.

Nice picture Rich!

Re: pic: Best lobby at a Regional Competition?

I love the Javits center. It is just so huge there. I always bring a frisbee, since there is just so much room to play in. This year we were in the other room than the last two years. Its great because if you need to relax, just walk our of the robotics competition and you can find a nice table to sit and calm down.

Re: pic: Best lobby at a Regional Competition?

It really is amazing place to be, especially when they set off dynamite in the construction site next door. Every piece of glass shook.

Or avoid the dripping roof with all those water catching tarps up above us...
Or to avoid the cold temperatures in the actual convention hall portion....
I don't know how old the Javits Center is, but I can't figure out why they have so many leaks already in the roof - Those were only a couple of the complaints I had about this weekend overall - besides how far away the stands were from the actual field & how bad the quality of the actual bleachers were themselves.

Also, did anyone feel the building shake on Saturday?
They were doing some (construction) blasting I guess that day & the windows in the lobby started shaking or so I hear.

Almost 100 blocks south of Riverbank to be more precise!

I love the quote, but I can't say I agree with it. Also, the picture is of fine architecture. Now, I'm no communist, but I think this might have been one thing they might have been right about.
