We're heading into our 6th post-season competition in a couple weeks (yay bash at the beach!). we offer students practice time when possible and get them to the competitions and excited about working on the robot (and driving it too). On Wednesday we'll start our weekly practices that will go right through til our first competition in early march. Everyone's welcome to come for a couple hours each week and practice with old robots and find their technique..

We also do 50+ demos per year which is a great chance for new drivers to get behind the sticks and drive the robot.

To prep the team, after we're back from break we'll start up our 'mini-FIRST' competition, hopefully using the same game as the Frontiers FIRST summer camp this year.

Usually we'll also start throwing around design ideas and improving on systems from previous years that we may think we'll want to use this year.
