Re: 2011 Finger Lakes Regional!

Who doesn't love a good Finger Lakes Regional?!

I can honestly say that competition in the Finger Lakes regional is some of the best I have ever seen, and it is my distinct honor to be able to compete once more in what will be my final year as an FRC student! I love being there, the energy is positively electrifying, and it is always one of the highlights of my year.

I can't wait for the Finger Lakes Regional to come around!

See you guys there!

Did I mention 2056 has never gone to a regional and not left with the Championship Banner?

I have no problem helping them keep that alive.


3181 is excited with a few new big name sponsors and hoping to bring another sharp looking competitive robot to play.

Re: 2011 Finger Lakes Regional!

Fairport Team 578 Red Raider Robotics (formerly Blue Lightning) is ready for action.

I concur that FLR is top-notch- thanks in advance to all the volunteers who work so hard to make the magic happen.

Bring on the competition! And of course the dancing.

Re: 2011 Finger Lakes Regional!

Don't forget, that 174 will not only be defending their title, but their three-time FLR winner title!

FLR is one of the few Week 1 regionals that provides a Week 5 experiance. About 90% of the teams have seen each other before - it's a very close FIRST family of teams and full of friendships. High energy, loads of veterens and rookies that are always better then the stigma of 'rookie'.

But it has to be the volunteers that make FLR so much fun. I have to believe that EVERY volunteer has been a student or mentor of FIRST teams, which is what I think makes FLR so much fun, expecially for volunteers.

I can't wait to have the Thunder Chickens return to the frozen tundra of Rochester! You help raise the bar and give us Rochester area teams something to aim for. And for all the teams returning, I wish you all a round of luck as this year just already feels exciting!

But the one big question...that everyone is asking...that will make or break how awesome FLR will be...is...will JonDarr Bradshaw return as game announcer?

Re: 2011 Finger Lakes Regional!

Now that we're getting close (only 22 days!? Can that be? ) could you guys please impart some practical information about your little corner of the universe to an out-of-town team? Like food, of course, and what to do in the evenings. The only info we got from our two RIT'ers is that Walpole has more snow than Rochester, which, while important, is not practical; and that I know how to pronounce Skaneateles, which is practical, but not important.

Re: 2011 Finger Lakes Regional!

RIT is located just off of Jefferson Road... If you leave RIT and hang a right onto Jefferson, you will quickly encounter the magical LAND OF RESTAURANTS. There are tons and tons and tons (and TONS) of places to eat on Jefferson Road, and if you don't want to go that far there are some pretty good restaurants on the northwest corner of campus.

Food at events are run by concession if you didn't preorder.

As to what to do in the evenings... Umm... What are you looking for? You can have a LAN party at Millennium Games (which is immediately before the aforementioned magical LAND OF RESTAURANTS, just north of Jefferson road) -- but you'll pay for the experience with cold, hard cash.

You could go back to your hotel and compare scouting notes, strategize, etc, etc.

What is it that people do during the evenings at FIRST events? I try to get as much sleep as I am able!

Walpole is near Boston, right?
You guys don't even have half the amount of snow Rochester gets (we average over a hundred per year. We're up to 91 inches so far this year). Boston averages around 40ish. It's that stupid snow machine to our North that keep making more of that annoying white stuff almost every day of our winter.
There are lots of resteraunts near RIT because there is a mall area very nearby.
Sadly both the Knighthawks and Amerks are on the road so go there. Thursday I plan on going to Laserquest so you guys are free to tag along (usually only members of 229 take me up on the offer with a few members from 1511 and others as well). Nothing else really comes to mind for entertainment.

Good luck to all,

Ed,

If all the rain we have gotten in Providence was snow, we'd be well over that 100 inch mark . But yes Walpole is just west of Boston.

It's all about location location location. Because we are positioned to the north and west of the lakes we get dumped on while New England is east of the ocean so they don't get as much snow from it (but they do get those nasty Nor'easterners a few times a season).
