After hearing some rumors that this event was not going to happen I am more then excited to see the tradition continue.
Thanks Aces for keeping one of the oldest FRC events running!

Just got back from Suffield High School.

They're still waiting for the carpet.

Aces High, 176 (Bless their hearts) are really working hard and gearing up for a Valentines Day Spectacular.
Longest running Week Zero event AFAIK.

The weather should be acceptable, but questionable. 4-8" by Sunday evening, hah, that's nothing compared to what we've had......
I understand some teams may choose to be cautious. Have a feeling that the Grasshoppers and Gone Fishin' may back out given the logistics.
Me = :(

OMG, the totes! the totes! So many!
Last year the refs, this year, the field reset crew.

There may still be some openings left if any local teams want to beta test their 'Bots.

Re: Suffield Shakedown 2015
 

We finished building the field last night and we're excited for all the teams coming to be able to test out their robots on the Recycle Rush field. If you can't make it to the event this year, team 230 the GaelHawks are once again hosting the webcast of the event on their website. Just go to http://www.shsrobotics.org to watch the live webcast.

If you are coming to the scrimmage this year and are looking to help out, we are still looking for people to volunteer. We need people to assist us with field reset and real time scoring. If you are willing to volunteer, please come see me or Marc Davis at the scoring table.

We are looking forward to a great event and best of luck to all teams competing today. We also wish teams competing in other week zero events the best of luck as well.
