I'll be field-side at UTC, doesn't get much better than that. Especially with the intensity of the new venue. Should be another great regional, I wonder if that science museum is open yet?? I heard rumors of a Team Social there last year. Anyways can't wait for CT use to be one of my least favorite events (booo Meadows!!!!) now it is probably my favorite event (yay CT Convetion Center!!!!!). The UTC regional I think jut proves how much of a difference venue can make to a FIRST competition Meadows was a horrible FIRST venue and the intensity and excitement at the competition suffered as a result. Everything's back on track now should be a good time and great comp.

dual targets + 3 closed PID loops + a slew of teams that wrecked the competition last year = some fierce competition

Mechanically our robot is much better off than last year, so how bad could the task of programming it be? At least we don't throw chains and leave robot carnage as souvenirs on the field...

Anyway, on behalf of all the members of the ÜberBots, I believe I can fairly say that we're all super-excited for the UTC Connecticut Regional this year. Only a few more days!

1740 will be in attendence for sure, we are putting in long hours all week to get ready for the regional, making lists checking them twice etc. Getting ready for a regional is kinda like xmas but more fun and less shopping.? In anycase looking forward to seeing you all there.

Team 1027 is rolling from its competition in Orlando last week to return home to the UTC Regional this weekend and we can't wait.

[Chris Marra]

It is not critical or urgent, but if any team or one of its members happens to have an RP-SMA antenna for our wireless router that will be running Sundial at the event, we want to make sure the range will cover the whole convention center. It is, well, large

Just got home from the venue - it's looking really nice! The planning committee has done an awesome job again this year. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

A UTC tradition returns ... Prediciting up to 12 inches of SNOW

[KathieK]

We're NEW ENGLAND, we can deal with a few lousy inches of ice and snow... Our new motto for the regional should be "Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these courageous couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." - Herodotus
