From the "Granite State" Regional FIRST Robotics Competition:

Congratulations to FIRST Team 58 from South Portland on their victory at the Granite State Regional. The Riot Crew (team 58) teamed up with Team 131 CHAOS and Team 1831 the Screaming Eagles. Their unique rotating arm was extremely fun to watch and I don't believe it missed a shot all weekend!

Also congratulations to teams 133, BERT from Standish, 3597 Robo-Ranglers from Kittery, 172 Northern Force from Falmouth/Gorham, and 3609 Duct Tape Dragons From South Portland for their trip to the quarter-finals.

Team 3451 -Team Boss also competed in Manchester.
