2002 UTC New England Regional video

Alright. Since the historians from the Northeast have entered the fray, I have a bunch of great memories about this event. 121's pit was next door to 103's and they had a quite unusual tool with them - a sewing machine if memory serves me correctly. They collected balls with this massive amount of blue fabric. My old team (103) acidentally impaled the fabric in those finals rounds. Thank god the system wasn't running or it'd been a disaster. Here's a visual of the scar for you:

So many great teams will cool ball mechanisms there
Buzz had this huge pneumatic hopper
Grasshopper was ridiculous going down the ball line... on and on
I also had a water bottle dumped in my pants pocket by another team mentor and it looked like I wet myself for at least an hour

One question for 121. The female on that drive team, she was really awesome. What ever became of her?
