FIRST OFFICAL MEETING!!!!!!!

Hey everyone,
Today was our first official meeting of the year. The meeting was very exciting due to the new students that came to become a part of the team. The two team captains did an excellent job explaining to the new hopefuls about everything our team is about. Although it was a really fun meeting, it was also one of the longest because we go through everything. We go through the pit book, the hand book, the groups and even the sub groups. Though a lot of us veterans have already gone through all this information many times we were there to show that we support our team and to also show that we truly are a family. By the end of the day we gained new members to our family. We were also signing up for EXCITING new coming events. Especially Bash At The Beach, which is one of the most exciting off-season events. At the end of the day many of the veterans had new students coming up to them asking them how long they been on the team, what they got out of the team for as long as they been there, and also if they had a fun doing FTC for a year before they really started doing FRC. Before everyone left, release forms and medical forms were handed out, filled out, and signed.

Here is the BRAND NEW NEWS

Well, recently we brought our team to BATTLECRY10 @ WPI. We made it to the quarter finals. We also got an award for our ability to do fast repairs.

We arrived at WPI at Friday at 4 P.M. and there were only seven of us instead of our normal 24. When we got there, there were mutiple teams on the field praticing. Most of the students were in the pits working on our robot and making everything go smoothly. After the practices we had a cookout where all the teams came together and ate on the green. After the cookout we went back inside the venue and the students and mentors who weren't in the pits went ahead and started to cheer and dance in the stands. When practicing was offically over we were in another part of the campus and went to an ice cream social where there were tons of games that you could play with other students.

Saturday: The actual competition began. The venue was hot, sweaty, and loud. The funny thing was, everyone enjoyed it. We made it to the quater finals and that's when our problems began - after a few intense back-to-back matches. Those matches caused our motors to overheat, but we were able to fix them quickly and that helped us gain a new award for fixing our robot quickly. After the competitons we went to a rest stop where a lot of the other teams were. While we were there we cheered and hung out with some of them.

News: This year we are saying goodbye to our seniors and our old captains and we are saying hello to our new captains and also our new students
