A HUGE thank you to the 60 or so volunteers and 30 teams who braved the elements to come out to Manchester High School yesterday! And to all the teams who helped us out in the last few weeks preparing for the event! And my hats off to our awesome planning committee - we have met weekly since last August to make yesterday's event happen. Your dedication to the FTC program is outstanding.

We ran a bit late all day due to our delayed opening, so I know some of you didn't get home until the wee hours... but the competition turned out great (at least, from my standpoint)! You are all to be congratulated for your accomplishments over the last several months!

Woah, Give us a few hours to sleep!

I was up at 4:00 AM, arrived at the event at 7:30 AM, and didn't even get home until 10:00 PM. Granted, I left the event at 7:00 PM, but we had a farewell dinner for one of our FRC mentors, and I'm still recovering from the FRC final build week and ship.

Congratulations, to all the teams that attended this event.

I will compile full match results, and forward them to the appropriate person to be added to the CT FTC website. Unfortunately, I was breaking down the scoring system and fields during the awards ceremony, so I don't have the awards winners. I'm sure someone else will post them.

Harry, you definitely should have texted me way earlier than you did last night. After a really long day, and going out to dinner after the event I was sleeping by that midnight hour when the text message came in. lol

I'll try and scan in and post the bracket in picture form tomorrow when I get a chance but Art has the info above.


What an awesome competition everyone!
It was great seeing everyone again!

My only complaint was being confused by team numbers of FTC teams who don't match their FRC partner teams.

Oh well. I'll just have to get used to that.

I can't get used to it, either. Team 40 = Peligon? team 175 = Checkmate? It doesn't want to "compute" in my brain! And since it will all change again soon, I'm not bothering to memorize them.

The great folks at Sharon Youth Robotics (home to FTC Team 1, Unlimited) have posted a bunch of photos on their website: http://eaglevex.syraweb.org/manchester2008.htm

Team 381 = 839 sideways.

You got your 8, you got your 3, and 8 + 1 = 9
381 = 839!

Now, try this- Our license plate number for Rosie's new trailer is W6992. That equals 839 also. You tell me how.

[fredliu168]

W = 89 in ASCII

896992

So you have your 8, and you have your 9

Now you have 6992

6/2 = 3 -----> 3 * (9/9) = 3

Therefore we have 839. Wow that was a good waste of 2 minutes.
