What day are you coming in on???
That’s AWESOME!! (and EXPENSIVE!!!) What made you decide to come to NJ? And let us know if you need anything- we’re all glad to help.
Thats Amazing! tell us how you like NJ when you get here.
you stole my old name!! 
Like Dylan noted before, I may be heading down to NJ for my first NJ regional, and I may have a few Sparx along for the ride, who knows…
Can’t wait to go! Team 11 is gonna rock your socks off!
who ARE all of you MORT noobs?? hahaha
Is anything been done about the horrible food? What about water? and cups/glasses for water? Are the pits arranged similarly to last year? Most importantly, What are my chances of getting sick with all the new improvements that are being done as opposed to other years with promised improvements?
Depends upon how often you wash your hands and/or use Purell.
We concluded last year that it was less a function of the venue and mroe a function of the way Viruses and Bacteria spread from host to host.
I’m proud that I did not get sick, despite spending virtually all of my time in the pits - but I did wash my habds at least 15 times a day all three days, wore gloves a lot, and even then was super careful about NOT touching my mouth, nose, eyes, etc.
See you there!

Thanks for all the offers to help. We appreciate it. We chose NJ because of teams 11 and 25 and the fact that our team chose to go to NY afterwards. We didnt do a NYC regional due to time schedule conflicts with our students taking finals.
What makes our trip more expensive is chartering a bus to take us from NJ on a tour of New York after, including stops to the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building tours, for a total of 6 hours. Then we are staying near Times Square for 3 days to enjoy NY.
Total cost for 25 people. $37,000 not including spending money.
Our team members are also on our Electric Vehicle team. We spent November in NY and raced in New Hampshire also.
Then our team flys back home and go back 2 1/2 weeks later to Vegas for our second regional, then come home and possibly go back 3 weeks later to Atlanta for the championships.
Thats a lot of cookies to sell…~$100,000 worth of expenses per year…
And one heck of a lot of jet lag!!!-
10 Days and Counting!
Wow, it doesn’t feel like its that soon. So much left still to do.
Can’t wait! We get on a bus around 1:00-2:00 pm on 2/28!!!
WHOOO HOOOO!! TRENTON HERE WE COME!!!
(Well, actually, Pennsylvania here we come, since we are staying in PA while competing, but whatever! lol)
How many National Anthems are we going to be honored with listening to this year?
USA, Brazil, Canada… any other international teams coming to NJ??
NJ, here we come! We leave next Tuesday already! Wow!!!:yikes:
I’m actually really excited to be the only team singing our national anthem
ONE WEEK LEFT!!!
5:00 pm
So we are a week away, did the regional committee buy some flooring yet?
