This is a great opportunity to shadow someone or train for new roles you are interested in taking on next season!

i volunteered last year, and it was truly one of the best events that I attended. Great job last year and iim sure it will be great again.

Re: 2014 Connecticut CIAC State Championship
 

It was a great event last year. :)

I understand that they are still looking for a location... does anyone know if they looked at some of the state universities (eg. CCSU, SCSU, WCSU, ECSU, UConn)? When we were talking about volunteering for the event, my daughter mentioned that it was after the end of the semester so maybe they would have a big gym available.

Re: 2014 Connecticut CIAC State Championship
 

Probably too early to call this, but Team 178 likely won't attend this year. The date falls on the Farmington Relay for Life, which the Enforcers have participated in for years. Good luck to all teams that do make it.

How about Wesleyan or middlesex community

Any update on the whereabouts?

And I know I wasn't the only one to notice:

ten of the top 20 teams in New England, including the top FOUR, are Connecticut teams (This is not including the TechnoTicks who passed on the NE Champs to save the time & money for World Champs).

CT Champs is a significant battle in its own right, wherever it takes place (though it would be nice to know where...)

For those who have been asking, we hope to get the schedule out today after registration closes.

We will be holding a NEMO (Non-Engineering Mentor Organization) meeting from 10am to noon (come and go as your schedule allows) for all adult mentors who deal with non-technical issues, room location TBD. Please let your non-technical mentors know about the meeting.

We also hope to hold a high-level overview of the new FIRST Youth Protection Policy program, details to be announced.

The team info packet will be going out to teams in the next day or two - the schedule went out to team leaders earlier this week.

Re: 2014 Connecticut CIAC State Championship
 

Dave, can you check and see if the webcast will be saved somewhere at the end of the day? I've got a hard drive where I can take the footage and make sure it ends up on TBA

Re: 2014 Connecticut CIAC State Championship
 

The team info document went out late this afternoon to the team mentors who registered the team for the event.

Also, in case you are doing any outreach, the official name for the event is The CIAC FIRST Robotics Connecticut State Championship.
