This is the grand countdown, huh?

Well... 3 days now!

Who's ready to play?

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

I'm ready to watch! :yikes:

Hoping to meet some new mentors tomorrow at the NEMO meeting. Please encourage them to come. We have great conversations!

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

I (and the rest of Team Paragon) can't wait! What it might lack in size, Wolcott will surely make up for in fun. (Plus, I get to drive the robot, instead of operating it, at least once :))

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

Team 558 is ready, even though my husband got t-boned on the way home from work today and his car is a wreck. Despite all, we will find our way to Wolcott!!

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

Oh no! I hope Ernie is OK! I guess he gets to join the "CT Crash Club"! See you tomorrow!

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

I just got home from helping set up the field, & everything looks like it's ready to go!

Btw, my favorite part of this competition already are the Trophies.
They are awesome! Kudos to Team 1071 & whoever came up with the idea for how they came out! :D


See everyone in the morning! :)

Edit:
Btw, for anyone who is interested, in addition to what will be a great event, & GUS Team 228 catering lunch with their awesome pulled pork BBQ smoker trailer & everything, it looks like they (Team 1071) will be selling T-Shirts at the event for 10 bucks, & also be having some raffles.

I cant wait!

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

I'm so excited! It was a long day setting up, but definitely worth it - there's a field! In our gym! It's bizarre to be on the other side of the fence, being excited over refereeing instead of competing.

Admittedly, after the measuring and lifting and unpacking and velcroing and ziptying, there were several extremely entertaining games of human overdrive...

If it was this much fun getting ready, I can't wait for tomorrow.

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

Ooh, now I really am looking forward to tomorrow! In my mind, the different trophies given at different offseason events are one of the best parts of going to a bunch of events. From the homemade ones at Merrimack, to the diamond-plate battlecry trophies, I've really found trophies at offseasons I've been to as being creative and great.

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

Ernie is fine, Kathy, thanks for asking. Just had to do a little last minute math and juggling to make sure we could get all the kids and equipment there with one less car, as by the time we got home it was too late to get a rental and the place doesn't open until 9:00 tomorrow by which time, of course, we will have discovered where Wolcott is (hopefully) and be there!

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

Now I want to see the trophies! What do they look like?

Also, I'm excited about the t-shirts they're selling. I have a growing collection of robotics t-shirts. I can't wait to see!

I guess I should get to bed though so I have some energy left for tomorrow. See everyone there!
