In order to make sure we are able to prep for thecompetitions we are moving our last couple of Thursday practices toFriday. I know a few students may not be able to accommodate thischange- but it will allow us to ensure we have help setting up for thecompetitions as well as /organizing/packing our robots to travel to Stargate inThorton.
Final Practices
17th, 20th, 23th, 27th, 31st,3th
We have an OPTIONAL event here at Drake on 1/21from 8-12. I know that a lot of students have outdoor lab so they may not feelup to coming. If you student is able to make it please let me know below. Therewill be a lot of the same teams as the competition in Dec- plus a few newones.
Our big state qualifying competition is 1/28 atDrake from 8-2. It is unlike the other competitions because the students willjust drive their robot and run their autonomous program- no teamwork. It givesthe students a chance to generate the best score possible for their state standing.It is not as fun to watch so if you want to drop your student off that is fine.We will most likely have Pizza and I will send out more information aboutordering as we get closer. If your student is only able to attend part of theday- that is also fine. They just need to communicate with me and theirteam.
I will take the top 7 teams to Stargate inThorton from 8-3 on Feb 4th. We were only able to secure 7 spots sounfortunately not every team will be able to join us. I will send out an emailon Saturday 1/28 telling everyone which teams are invited.
