So What is your team doing from now till Kickoff

[Madison]

We're gearing up for the season in a few different ways -

First, we're begging and pleading for funding from whatever company or person we see. We really, really need money. We've got a fundraiser planned for this Thursday evening, with Dave Lavery of NASA set as our keynote speaker. We've set up as a way for small companies in our area to get in touch with some of the larger ones, but we're also hoping to get a few of them interested in our program.

As of yesterday, we've begun our own 'six weeks,' during which we hope to build a robot that could've successfully competed in last year's competition. We couldn't think of a better way to get a rookie team to act like a team, and gain a whole lot of experience, than to make them see what things will be like.

So far, things are going well, and we're all really hopeful for the 2002 season.
