UTC New England Regional Tailgating

[Jones571]

yes breakfast with RAGE!!! what other teams are interested in going?

[Tom Bottiglieri]

yay we will eat breakfast with you if you bring our sprockets

[Jones571]

I don't believe sprockets will taste to good for breakfast. But if u really want....
haha you know you are addicted to first when u crave sprockets for breakfast!

[Tom Bottiglieri]

EDIT TO LAST POST.....

We will eat breakfast with you if you bring our sprockets that you machined for us to use in our drivetrain (which broke)

[KathieK]

I'll make sure our CNC guys see this post! Sprockets for Breakfast??? A fair trade I think!

Anyway, we're looking forward to seeing everyone. I told a lot of the CT teams about it at NJ Regional. Please spread the word to the other teams coming to UTC.

[Jon K.]

Yes we will bring your sprockets just don't eat them becuase then you will have to find some more on your own.

[KathieK]

We have a big banner that we are trying to collect everyone's buttons on... so please stop by the tailgate party on Saturday morning and make sure your team has contributed!

[Lisa Rodriguez]

Tailgaiting should be lots of fun.......i'm really looking forward to it (although it does mean me getting up earlier) anyone's invited, you just need to give us an advance notice of attendence and probably about how much they would eat, but anyone is welcome!

[KathieK]

and probably about how much they would eat

EATING? WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT EATING???

OK, I guess we'll have food. We're meeting tonight to come up with some ideas, then we'll let everyone know.

On a side note, is the team party going to be at the Expo Center again this year? On FIRST's website I believe it just says that it will be on site.

Just curious. I don't think that we will have enough room to party in Tne Meadows because of all the robots which I am assuming will take up the space in the lobby.

Last year at the expo center was fun.
(Even though I did hurt my back playing foozeball..)

[Tom Bottiglieri]

how can you hurt your back playing fooseball?

[Jones571]

Yea from what I have herd it will be at the expo center a lot like last year more of those "blow up things" like foozball should be some good times yet again. ill try to find out what exactly will be at the expo center if i find out ill let you know

[KathieK]

RAGE has some ideas for what we want to do regarding food, music, etc.
Weather permitting, we will have a motor home on site at the Meadows which will allow us to serve coffee and act as a general gathering place. We are thinking of serving cold foods - danish, donuts, juice, etc. and are looking for donations from area businesses.

We'd like to know how many teams might be coming, so we know if we are going to have 20 or 200 people there!

If your team is interested in helping out for the Tailgating party early in the morning on Saturday, March 20, please PM me.

Because this was no ordinary fooseball. It was llife size inflatable human fooseball. Kind of hard to explain without seeing it in person.
