Blog Entry Two!

Hello robotics fans, good afternoon/morning/or night,

whatever time you may be reading this!

Glad to see you're back.

Well let's get right into it, shall we?

Today's Team Agenda

Admin:

Mama Susca worked on making the forms for the exciting upcoming trips!

Such as :

The Suffield Shakedown

and

Battlecry@WPI

Another one of our lovely administrators, Divya, persistently continued working on the pitbook, which is oh-so important to us! She also finished the community outreach, fundraising and GOING GREEN! campaign pages.

And you thought Team Paragon was all blue and orange, but we're also GREEN (not green with envy, all though the other teams may be)! But actually, Team Paragon is saving the environment and the world we live in one cup at a time, reusing cups and plates. Also recycling bottles and cans, while using the funds of recycled containers, to buy more things to benefit or help the team. So Team Paragon isn't just flashy robots and amazing people, but also money savvy and environmentally savvy. Quite a dashing combination of stupendous qualities, don't you think?!

Electrical:

In electrical, the work on a new layout for the robot, Devin says, "We made the final layout for the electroquarium and we're putting it on Jenny Craig" which is an amazing way to put it! Haha! For competitions their robot needs to adhere to a certain weight requirement/limit. So Electrical makes it lighter by "swiss cheesing" it. "Swiss cheesing" it, an interesting, and delicious term that basically means they are putting holes everywhere and anywhere they can, to reduce the weight.

FTC:

Today in FTC Linnea says, "We're trying to figure out a new name for our robot " The possible idea of George Flipsy comes about. Which is an adorable name don't you think?

Mechanical:

In Mechanical we see our dear friend Tim, cutting wood and metal parts for the final robot. He works diligently while finishing up the lexan ramp for the robot and practicing driving the practice robot.

Ah, Our robot's coming to life! It's so exciting!

Video Productions:

Video productions shot some awesome footage of both, mechnical and electrical at work, for the build season video/montage. It's made made every year, and is showed on Windsor's local television channel called WInTV. There, in the video montage, you can see for yourselves how dedicated, passionate, and eager Team Paragon is, about what they do. Times on when it will air will surely be posted on the website under the "MULTIMEDIA" section, along with some other fantastic videos for your viewing pleasure.

But that's all for now! Until next time, I am your blog host, and I will continue to fill you in on all your Team Paragon information needs.

Remember to keep up-to-date on what's going on with us and the buildsite!
