Ray, Patrick and Sherry reported “WOW! What a beautiful home” after attending the reception at Dean Kamen’s home Friday evening. Hundreds of people enjoyed the catered reception with scrumptious food in the beautiful and interesting surroundings. It was a great way to meet and greet fellow teams, directors and FIRST staff members. Saturday Ray, Patrick, Sherry, Gregory and Mitchell were part of the kick off audience at the Southern NH University Gym. Excitement grew as we registered the team for the “Kit of Parts” and shared coffee, juice and conversation with other teams. Keynote speakers were Dean Kamen, Woody Flowers, and Dave Lavery. The opening was broadcast all over the world via a NASA Web-cast. After a review of proper audience participation from the filming crew, the keynote speakers shared the new game with great enthusiasm. With lights, camera, action the new playing field was revealed and a mock game ensued. A quick review of the rules and after most of the frequently asked questions were answered, the game field was passed to the audience for close scrutiny. Pictures were taken from every angle and close-ups of the particular noteworthy items taken. Then, on to FIRST headquarters to pick the “Kit of Parts” and head back home.
