First off, I would like to thank all of the teams that have competed so far. You guys are the ones that must take the step into darkness and be the first ones to test the new set up and have tuaght other much in your do so. So, congrats to ALL!!!
However, with the next set of competitions coming up in T-minus 5 days I would just like to get the ball rolling on what people think about the Hartford UTC regional being held at The Meadows.
It is my own personal opinion that this is going to be one of the better regionals. With the Manchester champs ( Techno Ticks 236) and last years World Champs and winners at the Pre-UTC (Rage 173) I believe it will be a good showing dispite the small size (38 teams).
Plus be on the look out for those below the radar teams (521!!!) as they will always shock you
P.S. For all those attending UTC please feel free to stop by team 521 pits anytime and ask for Ryan or SKI (I am bound to be there!) or any other of my trustee teamates to answer your questions. And while my team plans to handout some great nick-nacks (some say better then last years tape measure/level) I will be bringing my own bag of goodies with who knows what!
