Robot signed by Dean Kamen
These are some pictures from when I was visited the Connecticut Science Center a few weekends ago and they had a display set up with a FRC robot that went to the championships in 2001. Usually I don't write articles about anything unless it has just a slight relation to Salvius but I have decided to make an exception because I thought it was cool that the robot was signed by Dean Kamin who founded the FIRST robotics competition and invented the Segway.
The sign in front of the robot reads:
The Techno Ticks have been bringing FIRST glory back to Old Lyme ever since winning the 1999 New England Regional Rookie Award.

The sign in front of the robot reads:
"Duncan"
Old Lyme High School's Techno Ticks
This 2001 Championship Division Finalist won a place in FIRST Robotics Competition history by racking up points in the game Diabolical Dynamics. Vying against other remote-controlled robots, Duncan's alliance bested other teams by landing more large and small balls in their opponent's 7-foot high goal, shooting over a randomly tilting bridge that bisected the rectangular playing field.The Techno Ticks have been bringing FIRST glory back to Old Lyme ever since winning the 1999 New England Regional Rookie Award.
