Worcester!

As you probably know, we'll be going to the Worcester competition Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of this week. Thursday only has practice rounds - no qualifying matches. That said, we'll be putting the arm on then, and attaching our repaired wheels. We now have longer bolts (and locktite) to prevent rollers from slipping off. Friday and Saturday will be competition days, and awards will be presented at the end of each day. If anyone is wondering, the Boston event is two weeks after Worcester. We'll be busy.
Finally, carpooling data, and a schedule, are available for download. As always, the FIRST website has plenty of data, as long as you can find it. Additionally, WPI has a website for the regional. It might be helpful. Isn't the internet a wonderful place?

p.s. If anyone has a 3g connection for a computer, or something to display on the projector, bring it. The cooler it is, the better. As of now, we're showing photos. Video, or internet feeds would be really cool. Just saying.
