As long as I don't have any tests the Tuesday after the Connecticut Regional, I will be there as a part of 1902.

Once we finish up the practice bot more videos will be posted.

I am very proud of what all three teams have accomplished. We have overcome many barriers and managed to barely finish them all on time. This weekend has proven that team work and dedication can accomplish the impossible. Thank you all for working so hard for the past six weeks, and remember the robot is never done.

David hit the nail on the head with this. Alot of people worked very hard to get these machines ready and if I were to use a cliche it would be "too many to name". However, there are 3 students in our robotics program I would like to mention.

As you can imagine, there are many hours (dozens) of manual/CNC lathe/mill work in these robots. These students were asked to make the parts for 4 machines. They were asked to machine parts to very tight tolerances. They are required to maintain their grades. They even had to put up with my shenanigans (although I'm not sure that's how they would characterize it ).

Of the students that did this work, 2 are juniors in first year machining and 1 is a senior in his second year. Yet, despite their limited experience and enduring many long hours in the shop, they pulled it off.

I want to say publicly that I am very proud of these young men - Kyle Williamson, Jonathan Parriera and Sean Magley.

Woo! You go guys! You three are some of the most of important people on the team!
