FIRST Team 1816 is in Duluth this weekend, March 10 -12, 2011, for the inaugural FIRST Lake Superior Regional robotics competition. We are all anxiously awaiting the first match of this regional, as well as the many more that will soon follow. The trip up North, however, isn’t complete without first taking time to thank all of our 2011 team sponsors. We’d like to acknowledge Medtronic Inc., our highest-level sponsor since 2006; Dow Water Solutions; Tornier Inc.; Graco; Ecolab Inc.; Larsen Design; Stratasys; 3M Co., Banners to Go, and Edina Public Schools. Due to your generous support, we are able to travel and compete. Everything from the bolts on the robot to the green robot trailer that contains our tools and hauls our robots, are due to our sponsors. We honestly can’t thank you enough. Thank you to all of our 2011 sponsors! We are very proud to wear your names and logos on our team t-shirts, on our pit signage and on our robot, throughout this weekend and the rest of the 2011 FIRST season.
