Today was a very special day for everyone on GUS, recently we had been invited by the teams good friend, Senator Suzio, up to the Hartford to be given a tour of the Capital building, demo the robots, get recognized on the floor, and receive an official citation by the state! On awesome honor for all of the team, and a marvelous way to promote FIRST! Here are a couple pictures of the tables we set up to demo the robots, and of the tour!

In addition to everything, WTNH, news channel 8, did a story on the team and put us in the news! Special thanks to them! Here’s the clip! http://youtu.be/5gpmXdl4dYU

Thank you again to Senator Suzio for helping us! This is something I will remember for the rest of my life!
