Gotta figure out a way to shoot t-shirts that someone else pays for.
We have a few pep rallies during the year (which includes throwing t-shirts into the crowd) and also many sports events which we can probably get the school to give us t-shirts.

Our football field is turf instead of grass so it won't rip stuff up. We would also probably prefer to do these things in the gym instead.

Thanks for the reminder! I'll be sure to remember to put a center drop. Luckily we still have not made the two side panels!



We still have quite a bit of stuff to buy like the metal side panels (which also need to be sent off to be cut!) , some more tank pulleys so the chassis might be a bit of time but we'll probably start on the turret very soon!
