The season is neverending. We are actually a year round team now. We have a group email list, where the team talks to each other daily, we hold fund raisers (car wash was supposed to be today...postponed due to weather), we sell coffee and hot chocolate every day at school.

My team started school 2 full weeks ago! ACK!

We have general team meetings every Thursday all throughout the school year. We have already begun working on the animation, possible designs for the drive train, and of course, we are deep into planning our Fall Invitational competition, the Ford Sweet Repeat, which takes place in about 5 weeks on October 7.

We are attending the Kettering competition in September, and the Chief Delphi Competition (always a blast!) in November. So work on the robot is essential. For these competitions, we have completely new teams for each, so lots of the kids on the team can have the opportunity to be on a field team. This helps us choose the best field team for the BIG ones in March and April.

As my husband reminds me every so often, this is no longer a 6 week affair.....it is truly year 'round.
