No more dragging toolboxes through the mud and snow! No more watching the screen to see how your team is doing because you're too short (like me) to see the action on the stage! Queuing should be improved. The public should be able to enter without going through the pits. Easy on and off two interstate highways. Hope to see lots of you in March at the new venue for the UTC New England Regional!

UTC is the place to be for 2006!

The new Connecticut Convention Center, where the UTC New England Regional will be this year, is awesome. I was also there recently for 3 days this past month with KathieK, and the new venue is great. Can you say huge? There is indoor parking, a huge space for a FRC and Vex Regional at the same time, brand new hotels right in downtown Hartford (including one attached to the new CTCC), loading docks right next to the pits, no ramps to get onto the playing field anymore, and of course, a beautiful convention center.
