We can use some Xtreme Heat today and tomorrow!

At least the weather for next weekend is looking to be less Xtreme.

I am sure that they will do fine without us this year. And I didn't think of our alliance from your perspective. That must have been scary! I would not want to go up against us! Haha. Once again, good luck to all!

Re: 2010 New Jersey Regional

Well, seems as if my ride has fallen through. Looks like I'll be missing NJ this year. Best of luck to all the teams!

Does anyone know if there's going to be a webcast?


EDIT: Just booked bus tickets. Thank goodness for the Bolt Bus and its $40 round trip!

See you all on Saturday!

Re: 2010 New Jersey Regional

I am so sad. For the first time in ten years, I will not be at the NJ regional. I will miss you all so much! I will be mentoring at FLR with 229.

I am there 'in spirit' cheering for 1923. I will always be a MidKnight Inventor.
Hope it's a fun and exciting regional, as always!

Re: 2010 New Jersey Regional

Less than 4 days separate us from the competition at the Sun National Arena (formerly the Sovereign Bank Arena)


That being said, I'd like to offer a few pearls of wisdom to those folks that will be joining us (be you first time NJers or Wily Veterans)

1) Jersey is notorious for bad weather. It has almost become a tradition for us to have inclement weather the week of the competition. So hope for the best but prepare for the worst (we did get about 3 feet of snow this past week)

2) The competition is held in an ice rink. So please dress accordingly. It is always easier to wear extra layers and take them off, than to not bring layers and have to find extra clothing.

3) We have 63 teams and are a week 1 regional. That being said I can guarantee there WILL be glitches to the system. Please everyone remember their GP and take a deep breath before going off the deep end.

4) (this should be a 3a) Everyone is going to be getting 9 matches this year, instead of the normal 7 or so. That being said it will be everyone's responsibility to help make the event run smoothly. With 2 extra matches a team we will be under an even bigger time crunch to make sure that we aren't there until midnight. So before you leave your pit...do you have a charged battery, do you have your driver buttons, do you have your safety glasses? All the little things will add up to massive amounts of delays if we have to keep reminding everyone about it.

5) Please also remember that the people working this event are volunteers. They don't get paid, they are their for the sheer reason that they love FIRST and want to see everyone have fun. We don't get paid...our "salary" is a meal and a t-shirt. We have a number of people there who have worked this event for more than 5 years and do their best to make things run as smooth as can be. Also keep in mind, that if you think you have a long day, theirs is longer. We have to report to the arena at 7:00 every morning (almost an hour and a half before the doors open) and we don't leave until at least an hour after you guys leave.

So while the passion of competition might bring out the "less-GPness" out of some people, take the time to thank a volunteer with a hug, a handshake or a simple thank you...I guarantee it will make their day. (also, I'll be the guy with the mic in the Hawaiian shirt by the scorers table if anyone wants to say hi).


Sorry for the rant, but I figured the more prepared you guys are the better.


So rest up, save your voices and get ready for a fun three days in NJ!

I'd like to expand on George's post.

These two things are very important. The field crew at Jersey has been top notch every year I've been there and everyone should work their hardest to help them out. Make sure you're paying attention to whats going on because there will be problems and the will be errors made and it helps to have everyone informed. Make sure that you have everything operating correctly on your machine so time isn't wasted chasing a "Field Fault" when it's really something to do with your robot (Everyone blames the field at first, I've been guilty of it once or thrice.).

Also, 9 Matches with 61 teams is truly a gift to those competing, and we should all remember this.

See you all on Friday, better bring your A Game...
