The archives for Saturday are equally pathetic. I eagerly await whatever you can get from the footage you do have.

Thank you everyone for pulling of this inaugural event.

I think most of us prefer the district model even though our Pit times are reduced.

A huge shout out to Brian Chidley and the families involved in FIRST through the Aluminum Falcons. Very impressive representation of the Groton community.

Here are some videos. I apologize for the shakiness, but filming from the field this year is tough.
They mostly focus on Southington because for all of the talk here about Ri3D resulting in common Robot design, they break the mold.

WHO LEFT A HUGE SACK of LAW BOOKS in the PITS!!

LAW??!?!?!???

Seriously, please ask around and if anyone knows of someone who is missing 7 thick Law books in a green and white gardener's bag, let them know that I threw them away.

No, I've got them here, and it's a gripping GRIPPING read.

Yeah those belong to one of the mentors on 4557...she used them to stack some trophies on. She's a lawyer so I suppose it makes sense that she has them. I'll let her know you have them assuming that your willing to part with such interesting books.

We had a great time, even though our "hands" didn't work out like we had hoped. Back to the shop to reconfigure!!!!

But seriously thanks for putting on the event!

Let's not forget to thank all the volunteers !!! Without them it would have been a much different event.

Thanks again Aluminum Falcons

We had a blast!

Wow this competition is really heating up, this reminds me of the CT Regional except maybe with even more top rate teams, it seems like every match will feel like an elimination! Especially since this will be most teams first competition and strategies will still be being developed for the game I'm excited to see how this all plays out
