Team 4186 out of California made this. Funny and creative stuff - good work.

Romania FTC

The Romanian FTC event just occurred. This is a second year event and attracted teams from all over Eastern Europe. Although I don't speak Romanian - a well produced 7 minute story on Romanian National TV aired recently and can be seen here: http://www.tvr.ro/articol.php?id=122774

NYC FTC Event

Just a quick note thanking the NYC crew for a great FTC Championship. I know I have not posted much from specific events this season - they've all been great - but this one was probably the largest.

72 teams, 2 divisions, and teams from as far away as Jamaica. Dean joined the competition with Jon Dudas too.

Special thanks to Len Rerek and the wonderful group of volunteers and sponsors. Pat Daly does a great job pulling together volunteers and sponsors for all of FIRST too. Doesn't hurt to have volunteers from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New Hampshire, and Connecticut pitching in!
