With one month to go Brunswick Eruption 9 is filling fast.
Currently we have 27 participants from Canada on south and it will be a glorious day. The field will have a few newbies this year, some distant, and some of our old favorites are not attending.
We can still take a few more and welcome teams from anywhere.

- the tikis are in and the trophies are in construction

-Teddy and the band crew are practicing "Oh Canada"

- the Evil Sundae crew is looking under rocks for especially disgusting stuff for this year's sundaes

- the chefs are getting the food lined up

- we will be collecting food for the NB Food Bank and offering a trophy for the team that donates the most items. Remember that coffee gets a double score.

- we are planning a trip to Harolds (there is still one open in Edison) for Sat after take down for teams that want to be a part of it. If you don't know what Harolds is talk to our long traveling teams from past years.

-FTC will have a scrimmage event in the Commons

-we will likely have a series of lectures too for all levels (waiting for the list from the organizer)

We are going to have fun. And that's what it is all about.

Hope to see you there

Is anyone webcasting or recording video of the event?

[Nathan Streeter]

Steven, I was wondering the same thing - I haven't seen/heard any mention of a webcast.

I got a call from the team (1519) earlier, though. It sounds like the start of matches was delayed due to field issues, but that we had played our 6 matches, with only a few left before Alliance Selection. It didn't sound like they knew where they were ranked, and I didn't specifically ask about our record. The robot has been functional... apparently Vortex scored all three auto balls from the far zone in one match!

At any rate, it sounds like BE 9 has overcome some field difficulties and is under way! Best of luck to all teams competing!

NICE! Glad to hear my buddy is ending this season with a bang!

Team 25 and crew thanks for hosting another successful Brunswick Eruption. Things may have started out slowly, but you guys did a great job of getting the schedule back on track. Also thanks to 25 and 1519 for inviting us to join their alliance.
