We have just finished the CAD for a sheetmetal practice drivetrain that we will be putting together in the coming weeks thanks to our new sheet metal sponsor.

That great. We have recently made Robotics, as a course that is offered to our students. Currently in that class, the students are building two robots with different design concepts, with a purpose of to see which design system works the best and in what condition.

Aside from that, we have also started to think of a possible drive train to be used for the 2013 season, we call it Ramzdrive, LOL

1114 and 1075 have only missed the 2002 Canadian Regional, since they were rookies in 2003, but have been to every one since.

EDIT: Er, wait. I forgot we didn't play in 2005.

1482 won't be able to make it out to the GTR this year, due to the time proximity to the new Western Canada regional. I'm happy that we've got a regional going over here, but I'll be sad to not go to this always great regional. We've been going to Toronto every year since 04 (though in 2011 we went to the East regional), it'll be a shame to miss some of the best Canadian teams. You guys should come out here, we could use some more veteran Canadian teams. Right now, half of the teams registered are rookie teams. We've still got 11 spots open!
