1058 meets throughout the summer every year. We have three basic things we like to do during the summer, and those things are Community/sponsor outreach, preparing our shop and storage areas for the next season, and a fun engineering side project to show off. For our outreach, 1058 hosts roboexpo at a local mall and invites other NH teams (last year we had 3467, 131, and 1922) to come show off their robots to the public. We also visit a local kindergarten, and walk in our towns annual parade with our robot. We also spend a good 3-4 meetings just cleaning out all of our storage areas in our school just to keep things tidy. As for the side projects, in the past we have built a t-shirt launching robot and a drivable Couch (with horn and head lights). Really 1058 never gets bored during the summer. As for impacting our success, the summer brings us closer together as a team because of all the fun we get to have, and it also helps our case for Chairmans Award because of all the outreach we do (I didn't list everything above).
