Looks good! Im very excited to see what you guys come up with next year! We are thinking of trying to band together the FTC and FRC teams here and waco and trying to open a STEM center for the city.

Also, we're excited to say since the approval of the center, there will be two new KISD schools with robotics programs for the 2015 season: Taylor HS and Tompkins HS. Both of these teams have already competed as pre-rookies at the Texas Robotics Invitational. Team 624 is looking forward to getting into our new build site as well as mentoring and collaborating with the other Katy teams!

I hope you guys can put together a video tour for those of us who won't get to see it in person.

It's very exciting to see you guys leveraging this new site to expand robotics in your area!

This is going to be very exciting for not only the Katy schools but it's should raise the level of competition in the whole state. Seeing what the Lee Summit teams did with just 3 teams in close proximity, I can't wait to see what happens with 5+ teams in the Katy center.

Alan,
As a mentor who helped move 1986, Team Titanium, into the site and worked with them before moving the Katy, I know this will help all the teams there, including CRyptonite. The ability for some student to student mentoring and interaction will help everyong grow in many ways.

We've definitely talked about featuring the center in our Chairman's and reveal videos for the 2015 season. A full video tour is a great idea though, we'll look into it!

Agreed. We're looking forward to the benefit it will have on the entire community as well, having another full practice field in the Houston area is one thing, having 10+ teams from the area to practice with on weekends is another thing entirely!
