Re: Map of Teams Getting Control Systems

It's true that there aren't any beta teams in the New England area - the idea was that there were so many people working on it up here that there could be adequate coverage for training.

I did a talk about the new control system yesterday along with an NI field engineer at Textron in Massachusetts for a group of mentors. I'm repeating the talk in NH and CT over the next 4 weeks. We are also trying to set up something in our studio at WPI that can be videotaped and put online.

The schedule is:
Oct 4 - CT Mentor Recognition Day in Wolcott, CT
Oct 11 - Pembroke HS, Pembroke, NH
Oct 18 - Bash at the Beach

I've been talking in depth about the capabilities of the new control system, how to program it, and a little show and tell with a few systems.

Here in Old Lyme, we are looking forward to hosting Brad at BASH. Everyone, this is open to all teams, regardless whether or not you are competing at BASH. We are also hosting a NEMO talk (thank you, KathieK!).

Come and enjoy Fall in Old Lyme on October 18!

And a very good talk it was, Brad. Thanks for giving the talk twice! I think you'll give Dave Lavery a run for the money in talking speed, the sign of a good engineer.

We don't need a Beta Team in New England -- we have the WPI Alpha Team working on the controller!
