Re: Thirty Days till Kickoff
Planning and finishing first drafts of our Chairman's submission. Selecting presenters.

Also finishing up a test chassis and selecting drivers for the 2014 season.

Prepping our two new Makerbot Replicator 2 printers.

Keeping kids up on their CAD skills.

Sending volunteers to local FTC and FLL events.

Setting up for a strategy meeting with one of our sponsors immediately following kickoff.

Mentoring our FLL and FTC teams.

To be honest, it feels like our offseason is busier than build season!

Re: Thirty Days till Kickoff
We're competing in a Vex competition put on by WPI called Savage Soccer. We run three teams and go to two events. We've already been to one event, where between the three teams, we picked up an undefeated qualifications, a semifinals appearance, and two award- a design award and a creativity award. After the second competition this Saturday, we will be working on shop training, organizing and preparing our storage space, and working on our Chairman's presentation.

We're strategizing for how to obtain corporate sponsors. With this year's fundraising fiasco, we are looking into getting a lot more corporate sponsors so that we are less dependent on grants.

The key is to have 0% dependence on grants

100% could be a bad idea, but 0%? Really? that doesn't seem like good advice to give people.

If you still have that feeling when build season rolls around, PM me and I'll send you a box of cookies for free.

No joke.

Oh I'm sure that we'll reach new levels of business come build season. In four years, I don't think a build season has ever seemed less busy than the previous year.
