Suffield Shakedown 2014

[MarcD79]

Suffield Shakedown 2014 has been verified for Feb. 15, 2014 at Suffield High School. There was question last year if it would continue. I am happy to say it is on again & I will happily take on the responsibility of field set-up, take-down & maintenance during the event. This is my 11th year doing the Scrimmage & hope it continues. I look forward to all the teams that will be participating & hope everyone has a great time. See ya on the the 15th!

SO glad to hear

Team 1099, acquired alot of new machines this year (Laser cutter, 3d printer, Plasma Cutter, Welt Belt Sander, CAD lab computers) BUT most importantly we changed the structure and organization of the team. This year we have a schedule we are strictly following for build season. One of our goals is to make it to Suffield Shakedown, which we haven't in a few years now.

Cant wait!

Great to hear that the Shakedown will continue.
When will we be able to sign up?

YES!! Me and a few of my teammates were so worried that this event wouldn't happen this year, while we traditionally don't attend this event it's always a pure blast to see the very first iterations of strategies for the new game

Same here.

The Suffield webcast is always an event at the 694 homebase.

So far no other details have been worked out. We were told by CT FIRST that they would make sure we have a field, but that so far is all we know at this point. As soon as we gather more details, we will announce it.

Yay!

I always love going up to Suffield and seeing the game initially play out. I'm glad to hear that it will be making a return!

This is truly great news, we always attend suffield scrimmage and its a great way to start the season, If you need any help with field setup or take down I am available

This is excellent news. I'm glad to hear that CTFIRST/NEFIRST is continuing to support the scrimmage. It has been a staple of the FRC culture here in the north east for as long as I can remember. As always, let us know if you need volunteers. Pending robot status, I'll be there to help set up at the very least.

This is awesome news! We were so sad to hear last year that it would not continue. It is great that CTFIRST is supporting this amazing event in our area.
