[FTC]: FTC Champ Tournament - Massachusetts

[KathieK]

So... who's going to Palmer, MA on Saturday?

[fredliu168]

Team 478 Mustang Robotics and I will be coming! Its going to be fun, I just hope the snowstorm in Toronto isn't too severe.

Kathie will you be there?

[KathieK]

Yes, I am planning to visit both the MA and RI events this weekend. Should be interesting to see how Quad Quandary plays out at each of them!

In case of a delay in tomorrow's tournament, an e-mail will be sent at 5:30 a.m. to all team leaders informing them of the delay and new start time. Organizers will also attempt to contact team leaders using the phone numbers in TIMS (team leaders - do you have only work phone numbers listed in TIMS? Do you have alternate phone numbers listed in TIMS so you can be reached outside of normal work hours?).

Congrats to Eric Duda and Guy Nyzio for putting on a great inaugural event. I loved dancing the chicken dance and YMCA with the Angelbots! It was a terrific competition - congratulations to everyone who managed to get through the snow to be there!
