Current Year Events Attended
Enfield Qualifying Event
Date Attended: November 19th, 2005
This event was something special! Two things made this event stand out for our team.
- It was at Lego Headquarters USA!!
- We got a tour of the Lego Manufacturing Line!
We definitely had a great time. Our robot struggled for most of the day. In fact it was in pieces at one point. We finally managed to get it all to work... AFTER the last round was over. Fortunately our team's hard work did not go unnoticed and we won the Director's Award (known as the Gracious Professionalism Award at LEGO HQ) as well as the Judges Award.
This event was hosted by two FIRST teams - Buzz Robotics (Team 175) and ACES High (Team 176).
Bridgeport Qualifying Event
Date Attended: December 3rd, 2005
This was an outstanding event. The event was also hosted by two FIRST teams - the Gaelhawks (Team 230) and the Lions (1099) - who did a great job in making this a first class event. Our team had a great time and took home the Director's Award as well as the Robot Performance Award.
Connecticut State Tournament
Date Attended: December 11th, 2005
Another excellent state competition. We never did achieve our robot's best possible score, but in spite of all managaged to get first place performance (by only 10 points) as well as the Director's Award. The judges had some very nice things to say to us when the event was over. This was definitely the toughest competition we've ever been to in Connecticut. The bar was high this year. A lot of great teams doing lots of cool GP stuff.
FLL World Festival
Date Attended: April 27 - 29th, 2006
Our team proudly represented the state of Connecticut at this year's FLL World Festival. We came home with two team awards and one individual award (see Awards and Recognitions below). Our robot also did extremely well (see Sub Wall-y (2005)). We met many great teams, and made special friends with team Jet-Net from Holland. They were our alliance partner, were located in the booth next to ours in the pits, AND they got the 2nd place teamwork award! All in all, a great experience that we'll never forget.
