"Please save Saturday March 11, 2006 for another opportunity to run your FLL Robots! We will be hosting a CT-FLL Demonstration Competition during the UTC New England FIRST Robotics Regional. Please DON'T DISMANTLE your ROBOTS nor your PRESENTATION MATERIALS as we would love for all to display their materials, run their robots again, and present their team projects publicly. The details have yet to be worked out, but we will have the opportunity to play again in March.

"If you are interested in participating, please let me know. Saturday's schedule will follow the schedule of the High School Event with doors opening around 8am. We will wrap up the FLL demonstration competition around 2pm allowing for everyone to check out the action in the High School Robotics FIRST Finals and Awards Ceremony.

"I will have more details as the date approaches, so as always, please be patient with me.

"If you have any questions or comments, please contact me via email or phone (860) 665-4565.

"Thanks, Matt...."

Coaches and mentors of 2005 CT-FLL teams:

Thank you all for your dedication and professionalism on Sunday. This was the best of the five CT-FLL tournaments I've been involved with. There are always imperfections, but there are fewer each year. Your students were GREAT, not only as roboticists and researchers, but in the way they conducted themselves throughout a long day. To me, this is a reflection of your skills as a coach and a mentor.

Greg Kane says it far better than I can, but every team was a winner on Sunday.

* I apologize for not delivering all of the medallions on time to the closing ceremony. I believe that there are still a few teams that have not received theirs. Please let me know so I can mail them to you.

* Details will be forthcoming about the March 11 FLL event.

* On Monday morning I posted a listing of robot-round results by team number. It is available at http://www.teched.ccsu.edu/fll/index.htm by clicking on the link after 'Preliminary results...'
