Re: What does your team do during the summer?
Our team is having our most active summer in three years. Part of this is due to attending IRI. We are working on all those small tasks we never got to and other fun projects for 2014.

We just finished a 5 week demonstration at a theme park near us participating in their education month.

We are giving our robot some much needed love after 4 events and 2 complete rebuilds.

We are making a new climber to add a second CIM motor and try new manufacturing techniques with new materials as well as try out anodizing.

We have designed a new swerve drive inspired by 1717 and 973 that we will manufacture and test after IRI.

Our most focused and organized fundraising attempt will begin in August.

One of our college mentor's is leading a project with the freshman to tear down and rebuild our 2012 robot and fix a few problems that arose to make it more reliable for demos.

That is all for now.
