Team 1037, The SCREAM Team is gearing up for the Sweet Repeat, as we are the hosts.

We have been learning programming with Bob Koehl since last May. Every Thursday, including all summer, 5 kids come to my classroom after school and work hard. Bob built a really excellent simulator board, with motors, sensors, etc for the kids to practice on.

This Saturday, we are attending the 1st Annual Team Ford FIRST "Sick Robot Clinic" in Taylor Michigan, where all the Ford teams are coming to get all the robots in good running condition for the Sweet Repeat. We share engineers, spare parts, and help each other get everything running smoothly. The teams attending besides 1037 are 184, 280 (TNT - the host of this event), 440, 301, 557, 1250, 1256, and a new Ford rookie team - not yet numbered!

Ford is also sponsoring a pre-season competition, in which we compete with our sister Ford teams on December 18. The competition rules will be announced Saturday at the "Sick Robot Clinic".

The students on my team have updated the SCREAM logo, and we're adding that.

Our new website is almost ready to upload, with lots of photos, and stuff from the past season.
