Do not rely solely on these updates as I post news regularly on the blog.

Note: the tournament at St. Edmund's in Brooklyn has been postponed. A new date convenient to teams that want to take part will be set up, possibly in May.

FLL Tri-state tournament at Javits April 6
The Javits Convention Center (37th St and 11th Ave.) will be the site of a major robotics event in NYC from April 5-6. FRC, FTC and FLL – a mini World Festival (without the world).

Friday April 4 is a practice day for FRC and you are welcome to come and observe. Tours of the pit areas will be offered (goggles must be worn and will be available for loan.)

Saturday, April 5, FRC and FTC competitions will take place concurrently all day.

Sunday, April 6, the FTC competition area is converted to an FLL space with 8 tables.

Do we need some volunteers on Sunday? Hell yes.

Important information for registered teams:

• Doors at Javits open at 8am.
• Registration will be from at 8:30-9:30
• Rough time of competition: 10-1 with no lunch break.
• Pit tables will be pre-assigned. All you do is check in and take your kids to the pit area at your assigned tables.
• There will few chairs available at the tables. So, floor sitting will be in operation. Consider having kids bring something to sit on (one big picnic.)
• There will be NO practice tables set up so bring your own mat and field set up. There will be plenty of room for them.
• We will get in as many rounds as we can.
• Trophies to 3 top performing teams and a certificate to each team (not to each child.)
• Seating in the bleachers is tight. I will send out a targeted email to the registered teams asking how many people you are bringing. There may not be room for cheerleaders, etc.

So far, 50 teams from the quad state area have registered.
10 slots still open
