It's unfortunate things fell like that, but it's completely understandable. Hopefully we'll see you next year.

Don't worry 2064 was notified. We just haven't had a chance to get the website updated until now.

Re: WIWI is coming Wolcott CT

We were looking forward to it. WIWI is where things first started coming together for us in the Breakaway season.

We thought we could use the opportunity to give our new drivers a taste of competition, but it just wasn't coming together and we didn't want to wait to the last minute.

Re: WIWI is coming Wolcott CT

So we had another planning meeting done, and a lot of things were accomplished. Team contacts, make sure to check your e-mail for the full run down, but there's just a few things I want to get out here on CD.

The 666 Mentor Robot is going to be the 228 twin this year. It is quite a fantastic machine, and I'm very interested to see it in the hands of our friends from "down below" . We'll be running it just as we have in past years, with mentors being able to sign up to play with or against their teams.

We finalized our Human Player Game. The game this year is called "Around The World". We have all of the game rules posted here on our website. Sign ups will be available the day of the Invitational. Also Kyle Twarog and I should be making a video showing you how to play the game within the next few weeks.

We also will be continuing our use of the Double Elimination Bracket. Since this gives us a little more flexibility on how many alliances we can have in eliminations, we have increased the vent from 25 teams to 29 teams. However all teams (except 228 and 1071) have a guarantee of being in eliminations.

Just 17 days until the big day!

defiantly? Sounds like the TorMentors will have a tough time of it. However, it looks like we're definitely attending as a team this year. I'm looking into a six-pack of brimstone for the 666 team too.

Re: WIWI is coming Wolcott CT

So I'm happy to announce that thanks to the tireless effort of the Wolcott High School Media Productions club, we're going to have a webcast this year.

When it goes live it will be available here:

Just 1 week left until the event!

Re: WIWI is coming Wolcott CT

Well it's Friday and we're in the middle of set-up, but theres a few things we wanted to go over.

Behind the Scences: For those who were wondering, the field arrived at the venue last Monday from Boston (This is the same field that was at BattleCry and Beantown Blitz). We held it over in storage until Yesterday Afternoon at which point we put together the majority (Bridges still have to go in) of the physical field as well as began to ran AV. Today we run all of the field electronics, put in the bridges, run AV, set-up the pits, and anything else that needs to be done to the Venue before tomorrow.

Load-In Night: Once we complete setting up, (or have the majority of things done), teams can come down to the Venue to load in and run practice mathches. This gives us a chance to make sure everything is running right, practice our prodcedures, etc. We should have a webcast running of the practice matches tonight, so make sure to check it out!

Reminder Doors Open at 7 and opening is at 9 tomorrow.

Last but not least if you can't make the action, make sure to watch the webcast of the event. Here:

http://www.max1071.com/drupal6/wiwi/webcast

I'll see everyone at opening!
