Also just back,
What a great event – The NE districts have been fantastic, and the level of play at the champs was amazing, great game flow while also tough defense (lots of bent metal), just the way we like it here. Off the field everyone became that much closer. Great fun to get more acquainted with the northern NE teams especially our 8th alliance members 1058 and 172, you guys were great to partner with, and we had fun putting a little scare into our great friends 558, 195 and the great rookie team 5122. Also, congratulations to our other CT friends 230, 177 and 4055 for their win.

Apple Pi (2067) is also deeply honored to be selected for one of the four Chairman’s awards, something the students have worked hard on, but with all the other amazing teams in the district never expected to get this soon, and great job by the other Chairman’s winners 2648, 78 and 811, its an honor to be in your company.

A special shout out to Sandra Brino, of 195, for Woody Flowers award – very well deserved. I know she is proud to see that there are 13 CT teams eligible to attend St. Louis!

Now we just need to figure out how to get there.

Districts are living up to their promise here – thanks to the volunteers, organizers and great teams.

13 out of 18 that attended NECMPS going to STL is an incredible percentage. This year CT has produced top-notch teams.

A little off topic...does anyone know the name of the song that they played at the end of the awards ceremony on Saturday? It was the last song of the event and it had a slide guitar intro.

The fact that 19 CT Teams attended NE Champs is amazing, that is almost half of CT teams. CT State championships in May is going to be a tough competition.

Represent CT in St Louis (and Einstein)!!!

Teams--I just want to add my 2 cents and congratulate all the teams for a great event in Boston. You all presented yourselves very well, even when I had my LRI vest on and the inspection descision may not have gone your way. I can't wait to see some of you on Einstein!

A LOT of work went into making this inaugural season of NEFIRST go so well for the teams. I had the pleasure of working/attending 7 of the 10 events, with a lot of dedicated individuals on many levels, from ingenuityNE to the students on the teams. Every RD, every volunteer, every committee member, all had your best interest in mind and they all deserve hearty round of applause. I am looking forward to improving your experience and 'making things better' for next year.

Does anyone know when the accept/decline is due for the first round of teams?

Thanks! And after that, how long will the next-in-line teams have to respond?

That I don't know, however robots MUST be shipped out by this Thursday, so it will have to be at a point prior to that.

Thanks for that video clip of the double auto block! We were thrilled that it actually worked!

And a big Thank You to teams 1153 and 125 for having us play with them in the big robot sandbox. And of course to all who made NECMP happen, you guys and gals rock!
