Team 781 (Kinetic Knights) have been / are working on the following:

-Creating a business plan
-Training our students interested in web design; they are learning HTML, PHP and CSS
-Training our design / interested students in SolidWorks so that we can effectively share designs and ideas.
-Running safety sessions with long time 781 mentor Lyle Semple (Videos available on our youtube channel, just search Kinetic Knights)
-Contacting previous sponsors
-Contacting new potential sponsors
-Looking for new mentors (and students of course, we have already gained more rookie students than number of senior students we lost at the end of last season)
-Building a full size field in a sponsor warehouse, holding our software beta testing open house at this location as well as other upcoming events.
-Buying parts
-Possibly taking part in our local Christmas parade.
-Updating our website for the 2012 season
-Just ran a successful "parents night" to introduce parents to FIRST, FRC and our team
-Rebuilt our 2011 Logomotion prototype chassis for use in testing programming next season, as well as for demonstrating code to those who are learning the programming process used in FRC
-Visiting a new sponsor located two hours from our school, they want to see our robot, and we want to see their expensive tools!
-Building a battery cart for next season
-Building a systematic inventory system so we always know what we have and what we need
-Planning on running a mock kickoff for our team, depending on our situation we could be inviting other teams in the area to practice their brainstorming skills (I would like to invite other teams since this is my own initiative)

That's all for now..
Good luck to everyone in the 2012 season as well as surviving through the holiday season without becoming anxious for the arrival of Jan 7th.
