It’s 100 days until kickoff 2014!
What is your team up to?
At the moment we’re trying to figure out the remainder of our competition schedule. It’s been an interesting process to say the least.
Looking for registration money :\
Figuring out how to get the team to and from competitions, now that the school has pulled transportation support. :mad:
Scrambling to finish a new robot for the GRITS off season competition next weekend!
Final preparations to our off-season robot before competing at Calgames…
Preparing the robot for CTTD, training freshmen, the usual.
A long overdue total re-structuring and re-branding of our whole team. New mentors, teachers, students, sponsors, tools, logos, workspaces and attitude.
Introducing new members to first and training
1 week to go. Gonna be exciting.
256 is working on our new offseason bot in preparation for Madtown Throwdown! Just did the bellypan cutout yesterday - it’s tiny! :ahh:
Team 45 just finished its mini build season and competition this week and is prepping for CAGE next month.
2220 is busy with a mock build season for an offseason in November, along with organizing and assisting the 8 FTC teams that work with us in our shop… it’s a little bit chaotic right now!
Also working on acquiring and maintaining sponsor relationships and partnerships… more on that later :P.
My team is currently working really hard on our FTC robot. We have a ton to do so it won’t interfere with our FRC season. We also have decided to attend two competitions for the first time since our rookie year of 2010. I (and the rest of the team) are super excited.
That’s great to hear. It will be fun to see you compete this season. Good luck to you guys in the 2014 season!!!
Sounds a bit similar to us. New team structure, new training, new fundraising goal (10 times last years), New machines.
We just got our own trailer, and are organizing a golf tourney to raise money
Same. Gotta get that 7 disc working…
Team 4301 is ramping up its fundraising efforts and getting ready to hold weekly training sessions. We’re looking forward to a great season!
Thanks, It’s a refreshing change. We’re bringing our A game this year!
We’re preparing for a few community events coming up in the next month. Also training new members… I can speak for programming, we’ll be training kids on LEGO Mindstorms (mainly NXT-G, don’t have the new one yet) first then labVIEW. Rookies who are good with it could eventually go onto mentor FLL teams in the area.
