Re: Getting ready for 2006
We're trying to get as much done BEFORE build season as possible. that way, we can focus on the robot and not have to worry about stuff like fundraising, which can be done well in advance. (this is why we start recruiting and working right after the Championship Event... it makes things a lot easier when one doesnt have to rush.)
So, as of right now, 233 has finished recruiting and we've got our team locked into place for the most part. we're finishing up the majority of our fundraisers (car washes are done with, and now its gift wrapping!) and we've finished a series of events at a local elementary school to promote science and engeneering through hands-on experience while promoting creative aspects of technology at local art shows and the library. we've got several people learning how to program (we have several people learning different programming languages from everything to C++ to Basic to simple html formatting... we've got a girl who gets to keep 2k5 over winter break to learn autonomous coding, and several others working on a driver simulation). we have gotten a lot of spirit things done (t-shirt designs, giveaways, etc) and countless other things that i'm unaware of but i'm sure are getting done...
and we are anxiously awaiting January 7th!!
