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
