2009 Connecticut Regional

[A_Reed]

On their way to the Connecticut regional team 48 Delphi E.L.I.T.E. has made a day stop in NYC and will be heading out later to finish the last leg of their trip.

While in New York they are making an attempt to be seen on the today show this morning. Look for the FIRST logo in the crowd if your a morning person.

Good luck this weekend and have fun!

Snow is evil Wendy............................ it always got in my driveway. Good luck to everyone at Connecticut this weekend.

I just got back from the venue, & all I have to say is that when I left:

The field was ready to go.
The game pieces looked so peaceful sitting in their little bin homes - maybe even a little too peaceful.
The pits were eerily quiet.
And last but not least, we can rejoice a bit because...

The snow is not here! YAY!!!
(Sorry FL teams, no snow for your memories of CT this year...yet. )


All in all, it seems to be shaping up to be a great regional event!

I'll see everyone there tomorrow - and yell at you if you're not wearing safety glasses as part of my job - but I really don't like yelling, so please wear them!!
K?
Thx!

Good luck everyone, get some good sleep tonight, and in the classic words of FIRST:
GO TEAMS!

I had a really great day today meeting so many CDers... looking forward to tomorrow. Let the games begin!

[Greg Marra]

I am looking forward to coming down on Saturday! There are so many great teams competing in Connecticut this weekend!

[Jaine Perotti]

It's been too long since I last attended the Connecticut Regional! I wish the best of luck to everyone - especially my old team, The Who'sCTEKS (team 716).
Oh how I wish I could be there!

Hope you are enjoying the New England weather, Wendy.

EDIT: is anyone doing a webcast of this event? (sorry if it's been posted elsewhere)

Can't wait to see how it unfolds, I'll be heading down to watch Saturday's eliminations!

Webcast is fantastic! Great sound and video, and you can actually read the Team Numbers and score at the bottom! Great job 230, thanks for hosting!

121 added a fan, if their drivers can still control it they should put up impressive numbers this weekend.

Today was so much fun! Congrats to a fantastic group of teams for all of your hard work and successes.

Also... does anyone want to trade for an UberBots shirt? I have two, in size L. I'd like a S or M if you can get one. [: Share your team spirit.

does anyone know what matches are being replayed tomorrow?
