Back to School

We got a jump start on the new school year last Thursday when we met up in my classroom to work on the robot. It was great to catch up with everyone and hear about what they did over the summer. We talked fundraising and came up with a few ideas. The new team members got to see our robot in action and help us change to a single lead screw system of moving our scissor lift. (They also got to witness how goofy it gets around here.) The results were fantastic and now we are hoping to take our robot to Tempest 'n Tampa.  I'm looking forward to a another great school year and robotics season. Go FIRST!

Our Radio Interview

Team members Brad and Hayley joined me at 96.5 THE JET for a radio interview back in April. You can listen to it here. Thanks to this interview, we received an anonymous donation in the amount of $2,500. Thank you so much to our Anonymous Angel Grams for her generous support!
