2010 New York City Regional !

[Scott Carpman]

Tomorrow's schedule is a bit altered due to the delays from tooday. From my understanding of the situation, the pits will open at 8 AM. The opening ceremonies will not occur and instead we will jump right into the qualification matches starting at 8:30 AM. The first match of the day will be match 54. As the traditional second day awards ceremony did not occur, all awards will be handed out tomorrow. Excpect another long and exciting day on the Hudson and don't forget to compensate for daylight savings.

Hey Scotty! Thanks for the info on the award ceremony, I was wondering when Saturday's award ceremony would occur.

Just a reminder for everyone who has signed up for FIRSTConnects.us at the regional: you are entered in the raffle at the FIRSTConnects booth! Come at 12pm tomorrow and see if you could get inflatables, team shirts, or even a 694 soccer ball!

Thank you, we appreciate the compliment. However we could not have done as well as we did if it wasn't for our alliance, teams 3111, and 3059. They did an outstanding job, not to mention their work during our 6? (lost count) quarterfinal games.

Thank you to all of the teams that made the New York Regional an unforgettable experience! We were the outsiders, but you made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped foot into the Javits Center!

Team 375: We couldn't have asked for better neighbors in the pits. Thanks for all of the tools and support you gave us, and congratulations on your many awards (Engineering Excellence, WFFA, Finalist, Chairman's)! You had a great strategy against our alliance in the playoffs, and hopefully we will get to replay finals match 3 in Atlanta (or at Ramp Riot!).

Team 522: Thank you for all of the support you gave us, and for the Classmate battery that powered us in the finals! Your robot was one of the most unique and entertaining designs this year - good luck in Long Island!

Team 694: You guys are the complete package: A great team with a great robot. Your autonomous scoring, mid-range sniping, and hanging were the key to pulling out victory after victory despite the double teams on Miss Daisy.

Team 3204: Your girls clearly already "get it"! We wouldn't have gotten out of the quarterfinals without the "lead blocking" that you did on defenders, and we were glad to be able to go the rest of the way for you! Hopefully your administrators see the medals around your necks (and more importantly, the ear-to-ear smiles on your students) and we'll see you in Atlanta and for years to come!

Team 2265: You came "off the bench" with no notice and delivered a heck of a defensive show. For those who don't know, 2265 and 1155 (on 375's finalist alliance) are actually the same school; 1155 is the boys' team and 2265 is the girls'. Round 1 goes to the girls! (Oh, and double congrats on EI!)

Frank Merrick and the field crew: Frank, it was a pleasure to finally meet you in person! You guys kept it together despite problem after problem with the field software and with teams' configuration woes. I think that the lessons learned in NYC will help future events this year go much more smoothly.

No thanks to: Mother Nature

To compete with two robots on your alliance in the eliminations is great, but to get to compete with three is amazing. We picked 3204 because we knew they could benefit our alliance, and they gave us the push that got us to the semis. When I saw that they could not move on, I thought it was over. However, 2265 was out on the field helping our alliance win in less than ten minutes after finding out we needed them. And of course team there was Miss Daisy. After our less than stellar Saturday performance, we thought we had no shot at being on your alliance, but your great 3rd zone start and unstoppable close zone scoring coupled with our mid field shooting, passing and hanging, made for a really great cooperative alliance.

I could not have asked for 3 more awesome teams to ally and drive with. Thank you so much to teams 341, 3204 and 2265. I can't wait to see you all again in Atlanta.
