Greetings (and HELP!),
Chelsea HS Team 1502 needs a couple of ME (mechanical engineering) type mentors ASAP. We just lost our *only* Chrysler ME due to a family health crisis. If anyone knows of any mechanically adept adults in the Chelsea MI area, we'd appreciate some help! We're really seeking *at least* TWO mechanical mentors, one to help our Drivetrain construction group, and one to help the Manipulation students (payload / game package) , but ANY help would be appreciated! [edit]... Even if only for a few days! [/edit] Status: We definitely know what we wish the robot to do, and have both the drivetrain and game package defined. What we need now are individuals with ME backgrounds to take over helping the students make the BOMs, order proper parts (not already on order), and guide them through the fab and assembly phases, to pick up where our previous mentor left off. We have a VERY good budget, so purchasing parts and materials will NOT be a problem. The kids just need to know WHAT to buy! We're meeting Mon-Tue and Thu-Fri evenings, and full Saturdays at Chelsea HS, room 506. (The kids meet every day, but Wednesdays are short days for us, so mentors aren't expected then.) Note that Mentors do not have to be there every day. Just enough to help queue the work for the students and keep them on track. Further technical problem solving help can often be accomplished via email when a mentor can't be there. But these next two weeks are critical, as we must get the primary fabrication completed by then, to stay on schedule. Without purchase orders in, we're losing ground daily. I'm afraid we may find ourselves in a shipping crisis if this isn't solved quickly. Perks: FYI... Besides the "local game" at GLR (Ypsilanti MI), we're also scheduled for both the Boilermaker (Purdue, in Indiana), AND we have a confirmed slot for the Championships! 1502's policy includes providing ALL mentors transportation AND hotel rooms at any "away games", so here's your chance to attend the Championships on us! ![]() So if you know of ANYONE in the area that can help us with at LEAST a few days of mechanical mentoring (to help us get us back on track), please contact either myself (CDF:kmcclary), or Team Contact Deb Bentley (CDF:dbentley) directly, ASAP. Thanks! - Keith |
