The storage closet we had is about the size of a one car garage, while the new area is like a walk in closet. Our stuff is no longer secure as it was before and if we lose the corner storage in the electronics lab our team will have no storage available.  This is also forcing us to get rid of extra team stuff and parts we were saving. This is just another chapter in our on going battle with the school/BOE.  Earlier this year Elgin had cleaned the closet and decorated the walls with all our old side panels off our robots, that will all be history shortly. |
ouch. The new place sounds worse than our spider farm. I'm sorry this is happing to you guys.
Right now we are mostly orienting the new members of the team. Tommorrow is our first mandatory parent meeting, during which we will explain the program and give out forms that need to be signed, etc. We are also working on a parent handbook.
Another project of ours is rebuilding reggie 3 (03 bot) to be a small ball handler, modeled after team paragon's robot (but w/o the 2x gripper...we just don't have time for that) to give practice to the rookie members. We are also repairing the Housywhatsit (04 bot) from the damage that occured at River Rage (none of this is serious, just routine stuff).
Of course we are doing the obvious fundraising, which is our main priority now.
We are also getting very excited to attend Bash at the Beach!
