It was so much fun talking with all of you yesterday! Looking forward to a great day today! Stop by our scholarship table, check out the two legacy team robots from the orginal season...

I apologize if I missed this earlier, but it appears that there is no webcast for this event? I checked the NASA page, and there was no link. I really want to watch my old team play.

The webcast is once again hosted by FRC230 here. It is done for today but opening ceremonies tomorrow I believe start at 9.

I would love to, unfortunately that probably won't be possible until after I graduate. Although there are a lot of reasons why I love being here in Florida, the downside is rarely being able to visit my family and team back home.

Thanks for the invite though, and as soon as I get the chance, I will be there!

I had a great time volunteering at this year's Connecticut Regional - it has so much energy! Thanks to the Regional Planning Committee for planning a fantastic event and taking such amazing care of the volunteers. Thanks also to all of the wonderful teams I got to meet while queuing. Additionally, I thought the team social was great - I had never been to the new Science Center before and I really enjoyed both the FIRST exhibit and pretty much everything else in it.

I have a few other messages that I'd like to give:

Team 1923 - thanks for joining us in CT - you played incredibly well all weekend and you definitely deserved your regional win. Even though my team was an alliance captain, I might have been rooting for you through the eliminations I think your Gracious Professionalism Award also speaks for how much we liked having you around - you should definitely consider returning to CTR next year.

Team 195 - thanks for inviting 1124 to practice with you last weekend, I heard that everyone had a great time! And of course, congratulations on winning the regional and the Quality Award!

Team 177 - congratulations on being regional finalists and on your Industrial Design Award. Here's to your sixth year of being division champions - we all know it's coming!

Team 2836 - I'm so glad you won the Imagery Award. The rug in your pits and your overall team image always puts a smile on my face.

Team 181 - your spirit is contagious, so the fact that you won the spirit award was no surprise. You had me singing your 181 cheer between most of the matches I queued.

Team 3654 - you were a pleasure to work with throughout the competition. You have an amazing group of young women and I was thrilled to see you win the Rookie Inspiration Award - you're going to continue to blossom and I'm looking forward to working with you again in the future. Thanks for joining up with 1124's scouting team, I know they enjoyed working with you. You should also get a prize for being early to every match.

Team 1124 - the distance you've come since Chesapeake just two weeks ago is incredible. We've overcome a lot of obstacles this season, so it was great to see the improvement over the course of the season. I know how hard you worked to update the website so that we could be a contender for this year's Website Award, so I was really proud to see you taking home a trophy for it!

Thank you again to everyone who made the 2011 Connecticut Regional such a wonderful event to be at.

Huge thanks to 1923 and 195, the two best scoring robots at the event. The last match was a clear indication how great your robots really are. It was an honor to play with you.
