Also, we have Team 2614 and Team 2614X...

Should be a great event.

Is there going to be a webcast? I'm assuming not, but since I can't go, it would be nice.

[mathking]

We are trying, I believe, for a web cast. Kautz knows for sure. It will be recorded and put on CD for the teams and it will be played on Time Warner's community access channel.

[Kautz]

Yes , we will have the event webcasted. All teams will get a DVD of the event just like last year. Will post URL on CD.

[Robby Unruh]

Will teams be allowed to bring their robot in friday evening, or will it be saturday morning?

[Kautz]

Yes
3:00PM to 7:00PM Friday for setup
open 8:00AM Sat.

[mathking]

The web cast will be at this link, and the link can also be found at www.growrobotics.org.

The Central Ohio Robotics Initiative would like to once again thank Time Warner for their generous support of the Connect A Million Minds Invitational, South High School and its principal Dr. Wiley for hosting the event and all of the volunteers who helped pull it off. In particular Paul George our fabulous FTA, Chris Hartenstine our Master of Ceremonies, Andy Bruening, David and Nancy Baier, Ann Ralston, Wolf Lant, Lou Cherobee, Christine Wilson, Jeff Shermer and out indomitable tournament director Bill Kautz. We would also like to thank all of the attendees and teams who were patient as we worked through a bunch of technical problems early due to a blown main breaker for the gym.

And a big thank you to team 234, Cyber Blue, who arrived at the venue just as the truck with the field arrived on Friday. They pitched right in and got the truck unloaded and helped set up the field. It made things go so much more smoothly on Friday and is much appreciated. You guys are a great team that really exemplifies what FIRST is all about. Thanks again and I hope you come back next year!
