Re: Hurricane Katrina
Here is the unofficial toll for the schools in New Orleans. Team 1589 - John F. Kennedy Senior High School took at least 3 ft of water and is closed and will probably be torn down. I do not know the status of Team 1304 - New Orleans Center for Science and Mathematics but I know that they took at least 4 ft of water. Team 1550 - O. Perry Walker Senior High School took wind damage and some rain damage and will probably be one of the few schools in Orleans Parish to open next year. Team 1534 - Marion Abramson Senior High School took water and wind damage and may open next year. All of the teachers have been laid off. Hurricane Katrina deliver a serious blow to First robotic in New Orleans. The Cougar-nator team 1589's robot has been rescued and now resting comfortably in Slidell (and still working) I am currently trying to get into O.P Walker to rescue MAX-XL. There is an effort to try to get all of the New Orleans robots and get them back to working order. Kind of a testament to surviving the storm.
