Good Morning Teams,

A number of important Email Blasts have been sent to team main and alternate contacts in the past week. Dean sent a message about the second generation e-watt saver bulbs, and PTC gave teams access to the software they have donated for the 2012 season. If you haven’t seen these emails, remember you can find all Email Blasts, Rookie Alerts and Blog posts on the FRC Team Email Blast Archive page of our website.

Also new on the website, the Regional Event detail pages (click on the event name to open the detail page) now include hotel information.

And in case you missed it, Jon Dudas, the President of FIRST was featured as a guest blogger on the innovate-educate blog.

FRC staff (and a few key volunteers) spent this past weekend at Dean’s house filming segments of the Kickoff for the January 7th broadcast. Dean was very gracious and moved his helicopter so we could fit a full competition field in his hanger. (Some people have garages, some people have hangers.)

Set up started on Friday (it takes a lot to construct a full field) and filming took up most of Saturday and a little time on Sunday. We filmed a segment on the Kit of Parts featuring Kate and Collin, several members of the GDC recorded segments about the game on the field and I delivered my remarks in Dean’s front lobby standing in front of his two story steam engine. A few people will be filmed off site, and Dean has yet to add his remarks, but we have a great deal of the tape we need for the Kickoff broadcast in the can. The production company will work their magic over the next few weeks and we’ll have a Kickoff broadcast ready to go on the 7th no matter what the weather throws at us in January.

31 days until Kickoff
See you then!
