 We can read about torque and speed in books, we can build a robot and drive it, but determination and character are built by time and encouragement, not just by studying. - Eugenia Gabrielov [more] |

Re: Internet Connection at Regionals
The internet connection used at the New England Regional was a request by UTC and sponsors to give internet access to the teams. It was a in house T1 or DSL connection used by the meadows. The only problem with having wireless networks only took a day of practice to become apparent when someone decided to have fun with the access point used by the meadows facilities, which was owned by clear channel broadcasting. Some settings were changed causing communications issues for the facilities personnel. The person who was responsible was apprehended is now being prosecuted by clear channel broadcasting. There many good reasons why teams should have access to internet at the regionals, but there are also reasons why FIRST doesn't think there should, and after the events at the UTC regional, I don't blame them for having there stance on the issue.
