There is no best way. • 4106 has created a way for new teams to get started (we use it too) • It is not intended to be a tradi<onal engineering notebook that tracks inven<on for patents. • It is meant to be a story of the team’s journey. FTC Landscape (North Region, Global) • Last year there were about 5,400 FTC teams in the world. • This is split almost perfectly between West, East, North and South regions • About 1400 teams in the Midwest (North) region. • Iowa & Michigan are the biggest states in the region due to government support • North Super Regional (NSR) held in Cedar Rapids Iowa • 72 teams from 13 states make NSR • Spots allocated by state team count, not compe<<veness • MI gets 14 teams, IA gets 16 teams. MI is only middle school. • WI=2, IN=3, OH=5, MN=6 – many top teams for Inspire and World Champion come from these states… FTC Landscape (Wisconsin) • Last year Wisconsin had ~40 teams that competed. • Down a bit from the previous years • Held 2 regionals, needs more. • Wisconsin’s compe<<veness at the top is very high • 9956 didn’t win an award at WI state, but won Inspire 1st at regional and state level in Missouri • MO is considered a strong state. • The WI championship doubled the number of high RP scores in the Midwest when it was played and accounted for ~¼ of them overall. • Every year, every team that advanced past state has done well • Last year, for example: • 4106 and 9956 made finals at super regionals and 10294 was highly ranked. • 4106 was NSR Rockwell Collins Innovate Award 3rd at NSR • 10294 was World Edison Division Finalist Captain. • 4106 was World Mo<vate Award Finalist • 4106 Member (Tim) won World Dean’s List Award • 75% of teams are in Southeast Wisconsin. Where to get Help • gracious Professionalism is strong in WI.

Nearly 400 San Diego high school students on FRC teams convened at the San Diego Kickoff Event at Kearny High School were they shown the AERIAL ASSIST playing field and received a Kit of Parts made up of motors, batteries, a control system, a PC, and a mix of automation components – and only limited instructions. Working with adult Mentors, students will have only six weeks to design, build, program, and test their robots to meet the season’s engineering challenge. The Stop Build deadline is on February 18th at midnight. Once these young inventors build a robot, their teams will participate in one or more of the 98 Regional and District competitions that measure the effectiveness of each robot, the power of collaboration, and the determination of students. San Diego teams will compete in the 2014 game, AERIAL ASSIST, at the 8th Annual San Diego FIRST Robotics Competition held at the Valley View Casino Center (formerly Sports Arena) on March 6­8, 2014.

Gateway Economic Development Corporation of Greater Cleveland (Gateway) was formed in 1990 by the City of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County, for the purposes of financing, building, owning and operating the Gateway Sports Complex in downtown Cleveland. Gateway owns Quicken Loans Arena, as well as Progressive Field and surrounding common areas, including Gateway Plaza along Ontario Avenue. Gateway’s lease agreements with the Cleveland Indians and the Cleveland Cavaliers, as revised and extended in 2004 and 2007, facilitate Gateway’s ability to continue as a good steward of these two tremendous buildings, as it has been for a generation. The leases with the Indians and the Cavaliers require the teams to pay for operating and maintenance costs of their respective facilities, many of the capital repair costs, as well as all of the cost of operating the Gateway Corporation. Gateway’s responsibilities – pursuant to a budget agreed upon annually with the teams and financed by team rental payments - include common area maintenance, insurance, security, and oversight of the maintenance and capital repairs of the ballpark and the arena, ensuring that Gateway’s facilities are maintained to guarantee their long-term viability.

  • At World Robotics Competition
    By Stephanie Slezycki • Senior Program Representative, Dept. 686 EB EMPLOYEES ach year, teams participating in the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recogni- tion of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition are given six weeks HELP STUDENTS to design, build, and test 120-lb robots for competition. The 2017 challenge, E FIRST STEAMWORKS, saw these teams competing on a steampunk- themed playing field. Each three-team alliance scored points by shooting balls to “KICK BOT” build pressure, manipulating gears to start rotors spinning, and boarding their airship. The alliance with the highest score at the end of the match was declared the winner. AT WORLD The 2017 FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) featured more than 83,000 stu- dents competing on 3,336 teams from 25 countries. Over 400 of these teams from ROBOTICS around the world qualified to attend the FRC Championship held last spring in St. Louis, Mo. For the first time ever, three of the teams representing Connecti- cut were supported by Electric Boat employee mentors, who volunteer countless COMPETITION hours each year to educate and guide the students to success. 12 | ELECTRIC BOAT NEWS | FALL/WINTER 2017 The Techno Ticks (Team 236) from Lyme-Old Lyme High School attend the FIRST Championship annually as a member of the Hall of Fame, having in the past won the Chairman’s Award, the most pres- tigious award in FIRST. This distinction honors the team that best embodies the purpose and goals of FIRST; the Techno Ticks serve as a role model for others to emulate. At the FRC Championship, teams were divided into six subdivisions, each named after a famous scien- tist, engineer, or inventor.
