– We still need 6 more people to help at the May 1, Rockcats game. I have to send in the list this week by Thursday or we will be docked funds. If
we can’t provide 14 people per game we will not be able to run this fundraiser. Without this fundraiser will not will be able to afford 2 FIRST
events. We are commmitted to 10 games. Please let me know if you can help out. Only helpers are adults or team members that are 16 or
older. If you are a student you need to get working papers. I have the form from the Rockcats. This paperwork needs to be filled out asap.

– Just a reminder to all the teams…
Four FIRST robotics high school teams and their UTC engineering mentors will be the subject of RoboNation – CT FIRST, an original online Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network (CPBN) Media Lab program.
The full length feature RoboNation will follow the teams as they prepare for and participate in the Connecticut FIRST Robotics Competition held recently at the Connecticut Convention Center. The teams — Birds of Prey, Paragon, RAGE, and ÜberBots — exemplify the best of the FIRST competition, including team work, success, career development and a strong working relationship between the students and engineering mentors from UTC.
The RoboNation feature will premiere on the Connecticut Sports Network (CTSN), Wednesday, May 13 at 8:00 p.m. and it will repeat at 8:30 p.m. Additionally, RoboNation will air Sunday, May 17 at 6:00 p.m. with a repeat at 6:30 p.m. CTSN is a partnership of Connecticut Public Television (CPTV) and WFSB-TV 3, and is available on Comcast cable channels 185 and 187.
