2010 Northeast Utilities FIRST Connecticut Regional

[KathieK]

Only a couple of weeks left until we meet again in Hartford! The planning committee's been hard at work... and we're looking forward to seeing everyone. Hope you're signing up for the Team Social at the Downtown Marriott Hotel and Connecticut Science Center - tickets are limited and available first-come, first-served per the instructions sent to the team leaders this week.
All the details for the regional, including the very important load-in instructions, can be found on our website, www.ctfirst.org

So... Who's coming to Connecticut???

[scawsome]

Team 230 will be there!

[Greg Marra]

I'll be swinging by! Hope to see some great competition

[Chris is me]

I'll probably be at WPI++ this year

I wonder how a regional like this will play out. Half the teams all know each other from WPI, yet some other powerhouses like 40 and 175 come into the picture.

[O'Sancheski]

team 571 is always there... and chris... from what i saw at BAE, 175 is not as good as previous years... they have alot of trouble hanging consistently

[smurfgirl]

Chris, that often happens at the Connecticut Regional, and I'm sure it's not the only place. A lot of the New England-area teams have known each other for a long time and practice together, work together at off-seasons and other competitions (like BAE, WPI, etc.). It's always a very exciting and competitive regional because of this. I'm sure you'll enjoy the experience!

I'll be there on Friday and Saturday to visit 1124 and others.

The GRUNTS Team #3146, from Granby CT, are looking forward to being there for our first official competition. We have alot of work to do on Thursday though as we shipped our chassis, but have several attachments to add to it.

StuyPulse is coming back and we had a blast last year. I'm looking forward to having a great time at what is the loudest regional I have ever been to.

Can I get any details on the team social such as what exactly it is going to be and at what time?

Can't wait to get back to competition.

[AcesJames]

Aces High will be back again, as usual. We're working on a more exciting pit display than usual...oh and we're working on that robot thing as well

See you all in a few weeks.

[Rosiebotboss]

Rosie's coming.........and stronger than we were at WPI.

All this (and more) has been sent to the main and alternate team contacts.

See you in CT!

Well it may not equal 1124, but the numbers don't lie- you'll be seeing us there, excited as ever

[Teammax]

Team Max will be there. Definitely excited about the event and the party. Nice job Kathie and Michael for pulling it all together. It is nice to have a social again

[XOFallenAngelOX]

Team 571 will be there

[Michael Sperber]

I just noticed a typo on the Team Social page of our website (http://www.ctfirst.org/first-ct-prog...TeamSocial.cfm).

The team social will run:
5:30p-6:30p Dinner
6:30p-8:30p Connecticut Science Center private access

We will update the site this evening...
Sorry for any confusion.

thanks
