I'm trying to get a lot of SAT I studying done, along with my homework and projects.

Public schooling really hinders my FIRST priority and education.

[Amanda Morrison]

Our team is just trying to get on a SANE level. We're working on fundraisers, traveling arrangements, and about a million other things.

I'm in a blind panic. Big surprise.

Websites, cyberblue234.com, indianafirst.org, other super secret websites, trying to not get fired for being a slacker at work and thinking about FIRST... (I hope Chris Fultz my boss doesnt read this one )

[IronSlayTallica]

For the past two years RAGE has donated some of our practice/meeting facility to the CT State Police Stuff a Cruiser, which gives children in the CT Childrens Medical Center toys to play with when they are sick or just out of surgery. And we are pannicking becuase we recieved many more toys and are trying to get all of these toys off of our playing field before saturday, so we can start to build our field asap.

Question of the Week 01-04-04: What preparations are you and your team making in this final week before kickoff? Are you trying to finish a prototype at the last minute? Cleaning the shop? Sleeping?

I hope everyone enjoys the tranquility of this week before the madness ensues.

without giving away the secrets of my old team i definately know there brainstorming as to what kind of robot to build (i.e. robot helps to get points or plays defense) most likely gather materials and definately creating some amazing magic and performing wizadry with in the confines of my old HS

T- 2 days 0 hrs 20min left until first kickoff day

We're planning out how we want our drive train to be and teaching our new kids how to do... stuff. Also experimenting with the new controller and language. Unfortunately we didn't have a meeting yesterday because we were snowed out (We're based in WA).

[Case]

We're unfortunetly unprepared. But that's normal for us. We're just kinda sitting around waiting for everything to start, looking halfheartedly for more sponsers. four years and we get less and less each year. Personally, I'm working on schoolwork, getting ahead for finals and trying to figure out what the BOM implys. I'm already getting the lack of sleep working on robot mindset going.
