Re: What are your Summer Plans

Summer plans include:
Internship (at PTC-- yup, I can confirm that FIRST does help get your foot in the door!)
Planning the Summer Robotics Summit here in MN (August 6th, mark your calendars!)
Doing a bunch of improvements to the GOFIRST shop (hello new workbenches, tool chest, and CNC router)
Helping my FTC students design and test a new drive train concept we've been floating around
Not going to IRI (again)
Doing a bunch of pre-planning for fall events and Ri3D

And I'll finish it off by running the MN State Fair robotics demonstration.

It's going to be a busy summer!

For me:
- Continue volunteering couple times a week at the local library
- Play racquetball at the gym
- Going to people's high school grad parties.. lol
- Going to IRI with the team (last competition on 2052.. )
- Might learn Calc 2 on my own before taking Calc 2 in college?? (heard calc 2 in college is a weedout course.. might as well introduce myself to it before taking it in college)
- Attending summer registration events for UW Madison
- Might go to SRS at the UMN.. even tho I'll be a team alumni and won't be presenting on scouting/strategy like I did for the past 2 years, It's a FIRST event.. might as well go there cause I'm an FIRST addict haha
- Moving into UW Madison near end of summer

Thanks, I was thinking of doing a solo one on how I interpreted scouting data on the team along with a strategy talk during competition (covering alliance selection and such..) basically it would be more in-depth of what I did as the team strategist and what more I/the team could of could've done. I'll definitely contact goFIRST if I'm set on an idea.

As for scouting/strategy, I'm sure 2052 will present it again at SRS with newer members to take over the presenter roles for experience purposes since the 2 seniors who annually presented are graduating.

Re: What are your Summer Plans

I'm starting up my own company and doing all the work that goes into that. Basically I'll be running robotics summer camps with some local (and not so local) teams. Right now I have 9 camps scheduled, and 3-5 more in the works. Really excited to be able to put my passion for FIRST into my own company!

Other than that, I'll be enjoying my time off school and spending most weekends at my cabin. If you can infer anything from my username, it won't be hard to guess that I'll be very sunburnt this summer.

Re: What are your Summer Plans

I'm working at Lockheed Martin as an Intern. It's going to be great to get a real look at how the company works.

As for FRC, I'm trying to replicate 254's vision code and app. As well as working on more advanced control systems for the team such as motion profiling and trajectory following.

I have to say, that's pretty sick. I'd love to hear how it went after the summer!
