Follow Our Travels

We started this blog while we were getting ready for the World Festival in Atlanta in 2010 so that our FLL friends could take the trip with us - virtually, of course!

Now we're using this site to share our "travels" as the FLL World Champions with fellow FLLers! We can share our ideas, advice and experiences to help spread the good news about FLL!

NH Entrepreneur of the Year Awards Banquet

Our latest venture "on the road" brought us to Manchester, NH for the NH Entrepreneur of the Year Awards Banquet held at the Radisson Hotel. After our win in Atlanta, Mr. Fred Kocher, President of the New Hampshire High Technology Council (NHHTC) graciously invited us to the event and on May 10, where we showcased our patent-pending SMARTwheel invention and demonstrated our awesome Smart Move robot. We spoke with hundreds of NH's top high tech business owners and entrepreneurs who were interested in our Don't DUIT campaign and our SMARTwheel. Our state's governor, John Lynch spent a lot of time with us and even gave our SMARTwheel prototype a try! We are looking forward to appearances on our local ABC affiliate station, WMUR and working with many of the business professionals we met that night.

The highlight of the evening was the amazing introduction from the Chairman of the NHHTC, Mr. Matt Pierson, who said:

"In the 2008 season, the Boston Celtics beat out 28 teams to be the NBA Champions. In 2001-2005, the Patriots . . . beat out a total of 31 teams to win the Superbowl three times in that time span. Well, those accomplishments pale in comparison to the Inventioneers, the FIRST LEGO League team that recently beat out 15,000 teams to become the World Champions and I'd like to acknowledge them."

Which brought a standing ovation from the entire audience! A career highlight for the Inventioneers!
