[Peter Matteson]

We meet all school year on Wednesday or Thursday night to keep continuity. The goal is to use this time to teach the new students CAD, programing, electrical or how to use the machine tools depending on the sub team they chose. We also do the majority of our fund raising planning and solicitation during this period so we can hold our pasta dinner/silent auction early in the build season.

In theory we will do a fall project, but in practice most of our fall training is conducted by maintianing our older robots that are used for practice and demo, as well as cleaning and organizing the shop which tends to get a bit disorganized over the year. We also spend quite a bit of time in the fall creating new drivetrain evolutions as practice and planning for various types of fields.
