Re: Final month preparations

We've actually been in PRE-FRC mode for a month or two now. Some plans fell through the cracks, others are still holding strong.

(1) We're buying things. FIRST Choice, all these PDVs, a weak inventory, and a new found drive means that we need to pick quite a few things. We're placing large orders now, and hopefully, large orders soon after we see the game.

(2) We're training people. This is not only the obvious training in CAD and programming, but rookies are also being brought up on the basic of manipulators/DT/competition/etc. and we're running them through old games. Just, quick, 20-30 minute brainstorming sessions.

(3) We're volunteering. The team is working on putting a bow on our volunteering with a string of FLL events coming up. This means that we will volunteer at FLL events for a solid 3-4 straight weekends.

(4) We're winding down. The end of the school year is upon us, and so we're looking at winding down the team. This means that, everyone gets a chance to think about and contemplate on designs/practices that we will hopefully use during the build season.

Cheers,
- Sunny G.
