Summer Program at NYU/Polytechnic U for Teachers
Click on photos to enlargeHello Everyone:
I am writing to inform you that under an NSF grant, this summer we will be offering a Research Experience for Teachers program in Mechatronics. As detailed in the enclosed flier, this is a paid research opportunity. Kindly pass this along to qualified high-school and middle-school teachers and encourage them to apply.
Thank you for your time and effort.

New York City FIRST LEGO League Championship will be held on Saturday, March 7th at the Jacob Javits Convention Center
January 7, 2009
Dear Friends of New York City FIRST:
Current economic conditions are presenting non-profits across the City with a very real challenge – How to continue to provide the highest quality programs and experiences for kids within the context of uncertain or declining financial resources.
New York City FIRST is no exception. Consequently we must make adjustments in our 2008-2009 programming in order to cope with these changing economic conditions.
The New York City FIRST planning committees for FRC, FTC, and FLL put a lot of careful thought into how we could reduce costs without significantly impacting the quality of the FIRST experience for kids across the City.
As a result of these deliberations, the following changes are being made in our 2009 competition season:
• The 2009 New York City FIRST LEGO League Championship will be held on Saturday, March 7th at the Jacob Javits Convention Center. This event had previously been scheduled to take place at Riverbank State Park on January 31st.
• The New York City FIRST Tech Challenge Championship will be held on Sunday, March 8th also at the Javits Center. In addition, a tournament registration fee of $200 will be established for teams which compete at this event.
• The 2009 New York City FIRST Robotics Competition and the third annual New York City FIRST Science and Technology Career Expo will again take place, as planned, March 6th – 8th at the Javits Center.
We realize that these changes create challenges for everyone – teachers, parents, and FIRST volunteers. But I hope everyone will understand that we make these changes out of necessity in order to reduce costs and make more efficient use of available resources.
Challenges often present new opportunities. As a result of consolidating events at Javits, thousands of kids of all ages will come together under one roof to be part of New York City’s celebration of science and technology. The excitement, “cross-generational” inspiration, and energy will be unprecedented.
If you have questions or concerns regarding these changes, please be in touch with me at randyschaeffer@gmail.com.
Thank you for your continuing support of New York City FIRST and our efforts to help young New Yorkers acquire the knowledge and skills they will need if they are to successfully compete in the technologically-driven global economy.

Morris FIRST Robotics Team to Celebrate 10th year
Posted by Gary Israel
Happy New Year Alumni and Friends,
This is a very exciting year for Morris High School FIRST Robotics as the team prepares for the 2009 FIRST Robotics season which will mark an important milestone.
As many of you know this will be our 10th year competing in the FIRST Robotics Competition and I want to take this opportunity to thank the MANY alumni, friends, and sponsors who have supported the Morris FIRST robotics team over the past nine years. The impact this robotics program has had on the Morris student's life and building their appreciation of science and technology is immeasurable.
Thanks to the support from so many caring people, Morris High School students have had the opportunity to compete in every New York City FIRST Robotics Regional since 2001. Morris team members have also traveled from the Bronx to other FIRST Robotics Competitions in Trenton, New Jersey (2000) Kennedy Space Center Cocoa Beach, Florida (2001& 2002) Houston, Texas (2003) Richmond, Virginia (2003 & 2004), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (2005,2006,2007)and Orlando, Florida (2008).
I am especially proud that the Morris team is the ONLY New York City FIRST Team to have competed in the FIRST Robotics Championships in Atlanta, Georgia for the past six consecutive years. Not even Bronx Science, Stuyvesant or Brooklyn Tech can claim that accomplishment.
For the 2009 FIRST Season, the team will once again compete in the New York City FIRST Robotics Regional at the Jacob Javits Center, March 6-8. In addition two weeks later the team will travel to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to compete for the first time in the Philadelphia FIRST Robotics Regional at Temple University, March 19-21.
With the continued financial support of our alumni, friends and sponsors we will have the opportunity to compete in our seventh consecutive FIRST Robotics Championships in Atlanta Georgia, April 17-19.
Please let me know if you are not already on the team's mailing list.
Warm regards,
Gary

Housekeeping and A Suitable Stand
A suitable stand is probably allowed, but the final say on that rests with
the people running your event, so check with them in advance, as they may have
unique space or safety concerns.
RULING 45 – HOUSEKEEPING 2
For those of you who want to store objects off the table:
The new Housekeeping rule does NOT rule out the use of TV trays/folding stands, carts. etc., which most tournaments have allowed for a decade.
Re-stated: You don’t HAVE to dedicate one of your drivers to holding a box of stuff all the time,
but that is an option. A suitable stand is probably allowed, but the final say on that rests with the people running your event, so check with them in advance, as they may have unique space or safety concerns.
Also: “Partially” in Base could mean barely or mostly. “IN” itself can mean totally, barely, or mostly. In fact, it really doesn’t matter if you store something on the mat OUTSIDE Base,
as long as the only strategy for doing that is STORAGE.
Please, everyone, the bottom line is that teams need room and the referees need to see everything. Housekeeping is one of our “softer” rules, written to help teams and referees both.
