Re: One More Week!!!
 

Well, unfortudently my Symphonic Band Audition tape is due Tuesday (day before I leave) so I'm mainly focussing on that, and I also have a Honors Geometry Test & Science test on Tuesday. The team in general is organizing and sorting containers of stuff, checking travel arrangements, and deciding who is taking what with them (tool box, cart, crates).

Re: One More Week!!!
 

Team 1251 is getting ready in many ways.

Part of the team is doing scouting, another part of the team makes bottons, some of us make lists of spare parts and tools we need to take with us, and some others are working on a flag and some tiger sticks. :D WE GOT SPIRIT :D

And last but defenetly not least, our two sets of drivers keep practicing to get better and better. (by the way im one of the drivers)

Hope to see you all there, and don't for get to come say hi at our pits.

I am getting ready by...getting my geometry grade up, which few thought could be done but I did it! Getting my team shirts washed. (I wear a different one every night in ATL) I am also getting my final Word doc. of the people I want to meet and the people who want to meet me done. Monday I will go to Tkats and help out packing the trailer and getting everything ready to roll out Wed. morning. I'm ready, are you?

Re: One More Week!!!
 

Well, I'm spending it like I've spent the last week (since we learned we were going to the Championships), and every other week since the end of build season, scouting, strategizing, making the occasional button, and browsing CD (Oh, I hope this is my last year scouting). This is going to be an exciting trip, especially my first with a some what "limited crew" (The mini-van caravan!). This is going be a great Championship with FRC, FVR, FLL and a bunch of great teams all under one roof/dome.

Re: One More Week!!!
 

Why??

Too bad you guys aren't bringing your chearing crew, you guys have awsome spirit. Good Luck to Heat Wave from team 1251, and to all the teams.

Trying to pay attention in class! :p I'm sitting in vector calc learning about the flux of a field through a surface and all I can think about is the Championship. This week is gonna kill me I'm so excited!! See everyone in Atlanta and make sure to stop by 433's pit and say hi.

Re: One More Week!!!
 

I can and cannot wait. I can wait with the fact I'm going down to Atlanta on a bus. I probably won't sleep, so I'll be equipping a dew for the trip.

I cannot wait in that its nationals, the season finale so to speak. There are things to do, see, people to meet, the whole thing. It's going to rock.

I am considering bringing a NES along for the trip with a 13" TV 2 controllers and of course the 'zapper' for Duck Hunt. Old school, yes, but do the games get old, no.

Other than that, I'm ready. See all of you there!

I am trying desperatly to finish my portion the video for the Hall of Fame that was due last week. :(

Re: One More Week!!!
 

It's not that I dislike it or anything, It is just that I would like to move on to pit next year, plus, it's a little stressful (I'm still working on how I am gunna run everything smoothly at Championships :ahh: ).

Ohhh, don't worry too much about that, we will have some people out there cheering non-stop, and I'll be yelling at the top of my lungs when I'm out there. That reminds me, I need to work on saving my voice this week too, oh well, guess I can't answer those questions in class.

Re: One More Week!!!

Re: One More Week!!!
 

I've been making button designs, packing spirit stuff, making little surprise stuff for the students, creating a list of FLL teams who still want to shadow with FRC teams in Atlanta, making earrings, making pit sheet bones, creating a pit display, reading CD, creating an attendance sheet for our team leader to use, sending out information e-mails to the team, making minor repairs to our mascot costume... Still to-do: laundry, packing my own stuff, working on my presentations for THIS WEEK(!)'s conference... :eek:

Re: One More Week!!!
 

I'll be leaving in 18 hours to start my trek toward Atlanta, and I still have to pack :ahh:! Otherwise, I still have updates to do on our website, print out another few hundred buttons, and finish recharging the rest of batteries. And oh yeah,

THERE'S ONLY 3 DAYS, 14 HOURS, 29 MINUTES, and 17 SECONDS LEFT!

Re: One More Week!!!
 

My team was... organizing our tool box, fixing our pit stuff up, organizing giveaways, thinking up cheers, dancing to cotton eye joe, packing, gathering homework, taking tests, online scouting, printing off more pit and match scouting forms, making up games for people to play, taking parts of off last years really cool bot, replacing those motors they took with others, and helping team 85 by taking down practically their whole pit and their ultra cool shop rags :) hectic as always
