It's time to register for the annual Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage! We hope that your team will be able to join us this year. If you would like to register for the scrimmage please email lindarhorn4h@gmail.com (the forms will be attached in the email). Here is a quick reference list:

Date - Saturday, February 20, 2016
Place - Suffield High School, Sheldon Street, Suffield CT

Pre Ordering Pizzas has changed a little - check out the flyer.

Aces High is also asking for your assistance with their community outreach project. Last year, Aces donated new, unused T-Shirts to Haiti. Does your team have overstock of team shirts? Consider bringing them along to the Scrimmage to donate. All teams who assist with this will be listed on the donation form that goes to Haiti!

I'm working with Bruce @ FIRST in regards to him agreeing that we can't run the field on FMS Lite. He has told me he will make every effort to get me the complete FMS electronics for the field. At this point I hope to have a full house of robots & pray we have decent weather. As all who have attended in the past you know I had to make hard decisions to shut down the scrimmage early. I really want to have a full day of competition & make it an enjoyable experience. I am also asking earlier than usual for volunteers for both the Friday set-up & reset crews for Saturday. For Friday set-up, I will need able-bodied volunteers as it looks like a logistics nightmare of setting up. I would like the set-up volunteers chosen ahead of time & that they know the game ahead of time. Please visit the Aces High facebook page or website for contact information
But most of all I'm looking forward to seeing all the teams again & having a good time. Remember my motto; Have fun, learn something new, meet new people & smile!

No problem, we are correcting that in our list now. It should appear correctly when we update the team list again. Thank you for letting us know.

We are pretty excited. Our robot is ready. However we are not excited to wake up at 3:30.

[first3234]

what is time do matches start at

[Chris is me]

GUS will be there for the first time since 2009. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you design a simple robot and stay on schedule.
