Today was a very special day for everyone on GUS, recently we had been invited by the teams good friend, Senator Suzio, up to the Hartford to be given a tour of the Capital building, demo the robots, get recognized on the floor, and receive an official citation by the state! On awesome honor for all of the team, and a marvelous way to promote FIRST! Here are a couple pictures of the tables we set up to demo the robots, and of the tour!
