What to do in the off-season

[ttldomination]

Let's see...

Let plan to:
CAD
Build a robot
Demos at local science summer camps
Present to some local interested companies
Prepare for off-season event. (This is huge for us cause we get to attract new members with competition early).

From what I hear so far (I haven't been able to attend a team meeting lately):

• TARDEC competition
• MARC competition
• IRI competition
• Kettering Kickoff competition
• Dawgbot (a small bot using the NI control system that is mostly a programming project to design autonomous stuff (tracking down soccer balls and bringing them back mostly)
• New battery cart
• Perhaps the Stairmaster (which cannot die, it's been around for two years) that can lift things up the stairs in our one of our sponsor's machine shop to our loft workspace)
• The 503 party June 18th
• Other LAN parties/get-togethers that haven't been arranged yet

The Stairmaster is actually used to move the robot up and down the stairs without having people carry it. None of the machines downstairs would be able to fit on it (with the previous designs that we have).
