Re: CT and MA Area Teams
Team 716 will be attending the UTC scrimmage. In past years it has been very valuable for us to get a chance to practice, test, and redesign when necessary.
This is an awesome event and I encourage teams to attend. Even if all you can bring is an old robot, a partially completed robot, or a prototype robot, you will get a better idea of what the game will be like, give you an upper hand on your strategy, and find out what aspects of your robot will need improving. It is a good way to see where your robot's design limits lie... because it is better to break your robot now, than it is to break it later when you wont have much time to redesign. I hope to see more teams attend this event than I have in the past! |

Re: CT and MA Area Teams
Yeah...we'll be there...last year we learned about some very important things that needed to be fixed on our robot, and the experience in a competition setting is extremely valuable.
That and it's fun :-D. |

Re: CT and MA Area Teams
I personally can't wait, 2 more days and then RAGE will be there to defend our back to back title. Too bad we couldn't threepeat with the same robot. LOL.
Out of curiosity how many teams will be attending this year? I heard it was around 27 or so. |

Its a tradgedy Watkinson wouldn't work with us to bring us into our 4th year with a bang -- but I guess all good things come to an end. I will see you all at RIT Fingerlakes (my new school next year, I'm so stoked) and at UTC Hartford as a voulenteer/spectator. I can't wait -- I might not be competing, but i'm not out. Good luck you guys! See you there! |

Re: CT and MA Area Teams
If possible could a list of teams competing and a time schedule be posted. I looked at last years schedule and assume it will be the same. Practice from 8-10 then matches, lunch, picking, finals? Also directions coming from 95 (from RI) would be great too!

Re: CT and MA Area Teams
There are 29 teams attending this year.
As far as a schedule, team list, and directions from RI - I will attempt to post that before the end of the night tonight (Thursday). Are we there yet? |

Re: CT and MA Area Teams
Woo-hoo! I cannot wait for this weekend. We have gone (counting this year) 3 out of the past 4 years )and the one year we did not go is the year we dont talk about
) but everytime I have gone has been a blast and I am sure no doubt this year will be the same it is so nice to see all the robots and all of the hard work that people have put into it and all the new designs that they have thought of. No doubt we will be working late Friday in order to make sure everything is all set and packed so we can leave bright and early Saturday. Just a few more tweaks and we are there! Just think only 4 more days without sleep W00T (as I take my last swig of my 7th red bull since school started ) |

Re: CT and MA Area Teams
The teams registered for the scrimmage are: 571, 173, 195, 1124, 1524, 230, 190, 176, 663, 228, 181, 178, 716, 1350, 839, 1071, 521, 1058, 175, 1373, 1027,999, 38, 809, 1099, 236, 694, 88
I believe that the schedule is still tenative. And lastly, the directions from Rhode Island should be: 4: Merge onto I-95 S toward WESTERLY. 5: Take the CT-85 exit- EXIT 82- toward WATERFORD/BROAD ST. 6: Turn RIGHT onto CT-85 N/HARTFORD TURNPIKE/HARTFORD RD. Continue to follow CT-85 N. 7: Turn LEFT onto CT-82/E HADDAM RD. 8: Merge onto CT-11 N toward COLCHESTER/HARTFORD. 9: CT-11 N becomes CT-2 W. 10: Merge onto US-6 W/I-84 W via EXIT 2W toward I-91 N. 11: Merge onto I-91 N via EXIT 51 toward SPRINGFIELD. 12: Merge onto CT-20 W via EXIT 40 toward BRADLEY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. 13: Turn RIGHT onto Old County Rd. 14. Follow Old County Rd. until you come to the stop sign in front of Dunkin Donut then turn left towards Rt. 75 15. At the light turn RIGHT. 16. Turn LEFT onto 168 in Suffield. 17. Continue on 168 until you come upto Sheldon St. which will be a left. 18. The school will come up on your RIGHT. Hopefully those directions will get you there and we will have our road signs up and visable. Anyone can doubte check me on that. See y'all later! -J9 |

Re: CT and MA Area Teams
Wow, I can't wait for the scrimmage tomorrow! I work at P&W this year so I'll be "refereeing" the event. Good, the scrimmage marks the beginning of competition season (my favorite season of the year). I live in the town adjacent to Suffield, CT (I live in Enfield, CT right now) so if you need any tips on what there is to do in CT... I'll break it to you early: there is Nothing to do in CT (except I know where the local restaurants are).
Looking forward to it! ![]() |

Re: CT and MA Area Teams
Sadly, Team 195 will not be sending their 2005 robot to the UTC scrimmage this year. We are sending last years robot with our secondary arm mounted on it, and not our 2005 robot that will be used in the competitions. Most of our team will be there, but a few will stay back to work on the real robot. Hope you have a lot of fun (I'm staying back to work on the 2005 bot!) Just wait until you see what we have in store for the UTC regional...
