Students on Wildstang Team #111 must enroll in the robot class to be on the team. We have some decent support from the school district (in addition to the schools/ Wheeling H.S. and Rolling Meadows H.S.)and have several fans on the school board as well. Students will meet for a minimum of three hours each Monday night (through the fall) where all aspects of FIRST teams are taught. Classes will include electrical fundamentals, mechanical advantage, strength design, video, yearbook prep, marketing, software, CAD, team management and Web design. In addition to the class time, returning students have opportunity to study advanced basics or become part of the Chief Delphi Invitational Team. (Thanks Delphi) Other students and first year students will participate in a "mini" competition where a game is devised to be played with robots made from Connex (sp?)bases (Thanks Technocats)and raw matierials supplied by the schools. If an experienced student does not choose to participate in either the mini comp or CDI then they are expected to mentor a LegoLeague team and all students are asked to help at LegoLeague state finals.
During the FIRST season, registered students are expected to participate in the robot program on one or more of the sub teams. Their participation (attendance) and productivity determines their grade (grading is handled by the teachers from each of the schools) and to some extent the choice of travel teams for regional and national events.
Good Luck All
