Our team is still looking for a place to work for the build season and after. We are trying to work out a deal with Klein ISD, but are very open to outside sources. The robot can not be built in my garage. I would love to have it there but this area is way to small. Plus parking is non existent.
After we get a location our main goal will be how fast we can fill it with tools. We will have all the teams tools along with a couple team members that will bring up there tools. We are always in need of tools though. Please feel free to contact me if you want to doante any tools. We will take anything. We are also looking for an old oven that can be donated. This will be for pouder coating. The larger the oven can hold the better.
Staying on the topic of donations, we are looking much better than last year when it comes to funds for the robot itself. We will still be having other fundraisers, such as the light bulbs and a yard sale. Also, the donate button on the website is updated. This is a non-profit so anything donated is a tax right off. Please encourage family members and friends to donate to a wonderful cause!
When is comes to the preperation of build season we are hoping to purchase a second crio as soon as the First Choice opens. We are most likley going to also pick up 4 talons for the drive motors. We will be sticking with the Drive in a day Chasis from Vex for our practice/prototype bot. We are planning on begining the final build on our final bot during the 3rd week of build season. We are very excited to have gained about 20 more members since last year. The members are very excited for their first First season. We have new Cadders, mechanical guys, and some really strong coders. Its going to be a great year full of memorable moments
