Can't wait! Suffield Shakedown is always an awesome pre-season event. Can't wait to see everyone there!

[jwfoss]

Looking forward to the event this year, its an excellent place to shake down the robot, see how the game is played, and get our drivers some "experience behind the glass"

Thanks to the Aces High mentors and students who have kept this event going for 10 years strong!

BUZZ 175 found out during Holiday Party at E Fermi HS right after the post and registered that night.

As can be seen, the waitlist has been expanded quite a bit, and, as we have always reserved spots for rookies, a few more rookie teams have been added to the event.

1 month and 1 week to Shakedown!

[KathieK]

There will not be a NEMO meeting (unless someone would like to facilitate it) at the Suffield Shakedown this year.

[AcesJames]

Less than one week to go until Suffield Shakedown!

Please note, there WILL now be a NEMO at the scrimmage.

Also, for any teams who, for whatever reason, are registered to attend, but cannot now attend, please make sure to let us know so we can filter through the waitlist. We would hate to end up having open spots because a team couldn't make it but didn't alert us!

Thanks!

Will the Suffield Shakedown be web-casted this year?

Thanks!

Steve

[Rick Vogl]

We'll be there. Look for the webcast link at www.shsrobotics.org.

[Koko Ed]

Has the team list changed?

[AcesJames]

Has the team list changed?

The most current team list is available here

http://aceshigh176.org/ss-scrimmage/2011?start=2

Only changes have been a few rookies added to the list, and a few added to the waitlist.

[Jester Jackster]

the who'SCTEKS are ready to win! bring it on

[Jessica Boucher]

I'm wicked excited!

FYI - I have a handful of volunteer jobs still available for the CT Regional taking place Mar 31- Apr 02, for all ages 14 and up. Some are Thursday only so you can help us on Thursday and then cheer with your team on Fri & Sat.

If you have a spare mentor or student that wants to have a blast at the regional, get a LogoMotion tshirt, and the best volunteer food on the east coast, come find me! I'll be somewhere near the field or hanging out in 40's pit.

[jwfoss]

Is it correct to assume that we will be hearing the Annoucing Talent of Andy Grady and Jack Kentfield again this year?

[ATannahill]

I see a link at http://www.shsrobotics.org/webcast.html for a webcast but I can't get an image. Is it streaming?

[Chris27]

The livestream is working for me

[XaulZan11]

The livestream is working for me

Fine for me too. Now if the robots could connect to the field...

[Koko Ed]

The stream keeps cutting in and out.

[gyroscopeRaptor]

The Windows Media stream is better, but there is no chat. Come join us, we won't bite.

[Bill_B]

Does anyone have match results from Suffield? How about a copy of the match schedule? I saw 3125 making copious scouting sheets. TBA would like to host my videos of the matches intelligently.

[V_Chip]

As far as I know, match results were not recorded OFFICIALLY. However I did see some teams recording scouting information that may prove helpful to your cause.
