The Connecticut Regional competition is coming up very soon! (Students leave Wednesday and Thursday next week in case you were wondering) Some people are testing and improving the shooter using the practice bot. Some are setting up awards for the team and for the CT regional. Others are writing press releases. The Chairman's Presentation Team is putting the final touches on their speech. 

Travel Agenda:

The early crew - Pit Crew, Scouting Leads, Drive Team, Chairman's Presenters, Lead Mentors, some Parent Chaperons and the bagged Robot (Thunderstorm) are leaving Wednesday right after school and travelling by caravan.  They will set up the pit and prep the robot for competition on Thursday.

Thursday, after school, the rest of the students, mentors, Teacher advisors, parents and chaperons will load the tour bus for the trip.  

Friday Morning, we will be at full strength at the Connecticut Regional and ready to play Rebound Rumble! 

1511 had a great time at our first competition, receiving 4 awards at FLR!

This year, we won the Innovation in Control Award, an award we have never won before! It is the first time we have won an award for a robot characteristic.

Congratulations to Justin, a Dean's List finalist! Justin has been awarded $1000, enough to afford 3 vocaloids!

Congratulations to Jeff, 1511's first Woodie Flowers Finalist award winner!

Congratulations to Larry, who won the outstanding volunteer award!

Make sure to congratulate the team, as well as Justin, Jeff, and Larry on their astounding success!
