We got a group of 6 girls in one learning community, this year we started on FTC, next year I hope we will register on FRC and have them not to compete on FTC, but instead modify their current robot, and them a year later have them hold summer camp for middle school and a year later do BEST robotics, and a year from there do FRC competition and just do demos for FTC and BEST on the year competing on FRC....but anyway that's just a "draft" I am sure things will be different depending what they want to do.

When not competing, we hope to be modifying the current hardware for doing demos in the community, on fourth year forward we will have 3 teams: A competition Team and 2 Demo teams. In addition we will have a Student Coach for Summer Camp.

Louie is currently a cardboard robot, in which eventually will have FTC parts replacing the cardboard.

Here is an e-mail from the teacher (coach):
The team had a great meeting Tuesday! Special Thank you goes to the Girl Scouts, Amber, Dave and Kevin who really came through for us! It was like Christmas. Our floor tiles are down, the router and hub worked beautifully to connect the Samantha module and now we can use Louie without the USB cord! Thanks to Kerry who worked with H. to get Louie configured with the Samantha Module. C., J., T., and A. did some great brainstorming on the arm and the team have a great plan.
