I've got a flyer page - somewhere - but nothing posted on ctfirst.org or on the ctfirst facebook page. They need encouragement or help or both, so lets send some email to the contacts on their contact page. Unfortunately for me, I've already got plans for that weekend that I might not have made if I'd known about this post-season event with a reasonable lead time.

Can someone say more about the State championship? This is the first I've heard of this.

The salient points are (by word of mouth, I did talk with Sue and Mike at Hartford)

• All CT teams invited, no qualification other than that
• One day event at the Hartford Armory, Saturday 11th of May (day before Mother's day) (other days that month ruled out for semi-obvious reasons)
• $200 registration fee
• There was an awards list on the flyer but I cannot recall particulars
• We will take the opportunity of this gathering to discuss, dissect, analyze, bemoan and celebrate the coming of the NE District, I'm betting.

Here's the link. I found it by googling Connecticut First Robotics Championship "May 11". And yes, 558 is registered. Hope to see all our friends there!

That, and it's always impossible to find things on the CIAC's website. I've spent way too much time hunting around looking for soccer info....

I realized I forgot to post these... I put up an extended preview (roughly 100 photos) from the CT Regional here:

I still need to finish processing the rest, but I thought I'd let people see the start of it!

As always, feel free to repost/use these as you want, I just ask that you provide photo credit and/or leave my copyright symbol. Thanks!!

I must have been preoccupied, Kim. I totally missed you again. I wanted to shake your hand to thank you for your pictures of FIRST events. Maybe next year. Thanks.
