The Kentucky FTC Championship held at the Owensboro Community and Technical College is never a dull moment. The competition is stellar and this is the second year the Techno Warriors Advanced have made the trip to Kentucky. The Master of Ceremonies this year was excellent as she announced the play by play action on the field throughout the day. Techno Warriors Advanced, team #3486, competed with Monkey Madness, team #5096, and Supposable Thumbs, team #4106, in the Final Alliance, but the Cincy Wolves, team #6441, took top honors as the Captain of the Winning Alliance.

TECHNO WARRIORS ADVANCED ATTEND GEORGIA QUALIFYING TOURNAMENT
FTC Georgia Qualifier - January 12, 2013
Winning Final Alliance - Congratulations to RPG - 1st Place Inspire
The Georgia Qualifier hosted by Monkey Madness, Team #5096, provided the first opportunity for the Techno Warriors Advanced to test Pipsqueak. It was also an opportunity to assist rookie teams with building and programming. The Georgia State FLL Tournament coincided with the FTC event. This allowed FLL team members to view the FTC competition and learn about the program that awaits them when they graduate from FLL. Hats off to Monkey Madness as they promote FIRST robotics in Alabama.

Mannie is the Man! Mannie at the Mississippi FTC Tournament
Mr. Mannie Lowe has traveled 8,000 miles and only hit one deer during his travels to all regions of the state of Mississippi. His goal has been to encourage schools and communities to become a part of FIRST Robotics' FIRST Tech Challenge program. The Ring It Up! season was successful due in large part to his efforts to support the program he is so passionate about.
