Re: 100 days til Kick-Off

Team 2949 has and will be up to a few things:
1) Obviously fundraising. When are we not?
2) During the summer we started re-designing our entire pit and will be building all new structures for it once the CAD work is done (yes, we're cadding our pit.) It's also been great practice for some of our members. We'll post pictures of it as it is completed. Should be pretty awesome.
3) During the Fall and early winter, we have a goal to build and perfect as much as possible a west coast drive train. No idea if we'll ever decide to use it but once again, good CAD practice, good building practice, and hopefully we'll learn from some mistakes along the way.
4) While working on the drive-train, we also hope to perfect our own custom 2-speed gearbox's that will also have the option for a third motor. Never know when that will be useful.
5) Some of our students are also working on VEX or FTC so that's keeping everyone busy.
6) Did I mention fundraising?
