I heard the Merrimack was cresting last night on the news and immediately wondered if it would affect FIRST in any way.

I guess I have my answer.

It's kind of funny too in a sense, as we were just discussing the flood of 02 in FIRST's headquarters the weekend if Nats, and the possible relevance to the game the following year.

My theory was that FIRST needed some storage totes to save stuff from the water that was coming in from the floor above them, and then someone was inspired to use those storage containers as game objects.

What will this flood mean for next year's game???
One can only speculate..
