Robotics letters

[Redhead Jokes]

Thank you! Great patch. Matching the colors of FIRST solves the problem.

Team Hammond students have received letters and pins for the last few years. They also receive 1 credit for the program as along as all of the necessary requirements are filled. (Time, attendance, assignments and participation.)

Thank you for sharing that. Our school administrator is just now "signing on" to help us with letterman jackets and getting excited about it - thank you to all who posted here cuz that's what helped me get her there.

I'm going to share with her that your team gets 1 credit also.

When you say "as along as all of the necessary requirements are filled", can you please list the exact "requirements"? Our Administration needs to see a concrete, measurable list of requirements in the Letterman proposal for review and critique.

Examples:
- "Attend a minimum of NN% of meetings",
- "Attend two regionals minimum as a team member",
- "Log at least HH hours in the shop during build",
- "Complete xx% of assignments with a minimum grade of XX",
etc...

Thanks!

Some of the requirements are.

80+ hours of participation in meetings, the build phase, chairmans award, animation, competition, fundraising, etc. We use a time clock with time cards to log each student.

A full research paper topic assigned by the coach and graded. (Minimum 5 pages, with complete grading on grammer, usage, punctuation, spelling, spacing, etc.)(Early in the season)

A report (graded) due one week prior to the championship from each student.

Coach assigned projects must be completed and on time.

At times we also work in different divisions and have a student team leader for each division. They will report on the others and their level of participation.

Interesting! I like it!

Can you give me sample topics for the research papers, and some typical Coach assigned projects?

What is the "report" about that is due before the Championship?

Thanks!

I want to know too. Thank you!

If I manage to get sweet home's robotics team up and going, I am going to try and have a lettering system.

I would love to letter in robotics.

OKAY---

What I would like to do now is this---Everyone that has a "Lettering" system for robotics at their school---please send me all documents, applications, etc for this. I will pool these together, and post them on our website for everyone to use.

We have been trying to persuade our school to support this--but we need to provide documentation. The main point our admin keeps giving me is the fact that we need guidelines---I agree, but other groups just simply require participation.

So, if you can please send me as much "paper-work" on this as you can, I would appreciate it.

fax @ school ATTN: Tonya Scott 580-767-9515
school e-mail scotttl@poncacity.k12.ok.us

We will happily consolidate and share this info with everyone. When we get it together--we will put on our website www.adidar.com

Now--what about class rings with FIRST logo?

If everyone would e-mail your local ring sales person or HQ--then things would probably happen quickly.

Would be really neat if there were rings available for Chairman's Award winners or other high awards.

In addition.... in my school (one of like 7 associated with the team) has a letter T on the back of the jackets.... however, for every thing you letter in, a patch gets put on the T related to the activity you received the letter...... ... .. ehat kind of patch would we be able to use????

Attached is the Wissahickon Robotics (Team 341) participation policy.

You have to be classified as full-time (as defined in the policy) to receive an academic letter.

The policy has worked pretty well, but needs some adjustments. Write me if you have any questions or suggestions. Good Luck!

[AJ Quick]

You can letter in robotics after your second year, at our School.

[Hailfire]

Well, our team is going to send a varsity letter after Nationals. What we're going to do is, write a varsity letter for all 3 Rochester teams (Rochester High School - 201, Adams High School - 245, and Stoney Creek High School - 1037)

[J2Kraatz]

We will make our presentation to the school board after nationals and we hope we get it. What makes it really cool is that we will present will two other team the FEDS of RHS and Adams team 245.
