Re: New York/New Jersey

The NJ regional has its moments/years, but I would just warn you about the whole week 1 aspect of it. I'm personally not a fan. The teams there, however, are always fun. My personal favorites being: 25, 816, 1089, 103(if they're back?), 56 was back, I'd like to see 237 or 359, Where's Waldo, 1860...etc. Some random black and yellow team.

The NJ regional is also where you can get the best pizza. Not even joking.

Re: New York/New Jersey

Like Mr.Don said FLR was fun, it was one of my favorite competitions for 3 years in a row! And staying so close to the competition made for a lot of extra time for team bonding after the day was over. Team 316 is a huge fan laser tag!

Re: New York/New Jersey

Okay, I have to be practical. Both regionals are great, but have you priced it out? Transportation, hotels, travel time? It could be the tiebreaker.

Re: New York/New Jersey

although I have not personally been to FLR, I can say that the New Jersey regional was great fun last year, and I would recommend it

Re: New York/New Jersey

While I've never been anywhere but NJ, excluding off season, from what I hear from other teams NJ has a rep for being competitive, to the point where bots are ramming into each other on the field and parts are breaking (happens to us tons of times). This is all I've known, cause we haven't been anywhere else. Other then that, its tons of fun. Our school is literally down the street from the arena so we know the area well, plenty to do. And at the arena, there's a taco bell across the parking lot which is AWESOME!

Its a really fun regional. Our team is looking to do NJ and Philly this year if we raise enough.

Oh, and don't forget the fun week 1 bugs.
