Re: Week Zero Discussion/Impressions/Discoveries/Fun Facts
The Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage went well. As always there are usually some quarks, but nothing we couldn't handle. I want to thank everybody involved with making it a success. That means not only our team, but all those step-up volunteers at the event from other teams. The District events are looking for volunteers like this.
We had made a commitment to all the teams who signed up for the event. We really had to beg the school to let us hold the event. I think the Scrimmage taught what worked & what didn't, even though there wasn't a full house of robots.
Because the weather was turning worse, I made the decision to forgo the eliminations & end the event so the teams had a safer ride home. When Jack The Hat Kentfield made the announcement, I didn't expect the reaction we got. Every body clapped & cheered. I thought they would boo us. To all who attended the Scrimmage, I thank you.
