Didn’t even have to make any repairs! We still need to work on the hook, but it worked really well even though it couldn’t pick up the tubes from the ground.

Good job everybody! Our robot works really well, before the ship date!

Tim Flaherty and Melynda also came for several hours.

Discussing the robot

We have Chuck Brant of the Rambotics team (1583) to thank for doing the work of organizing the demos; and team 1158 (the Corps, of Collbran, CO) for rounding out the “demo alliance” of three teams.  FIRST shipped an official goal to Denver for the event, and all the robots put on a good show.  In spite of the less-than-ideal location away from the direct travel path of the people attending, we still had a fairly steady stream of people to talk to about FRC and FIRST.  Our robot worked quite well except for some slow-charging batteries and a small problem with the kicker near the end of the day. Tim got it working again with a temporary fix (we didn’t have all our supplies) but we’ll make a more permanent fix sometime soon so the robot will be ready in case we get the chance to take it out again this summer. Tim and Melynda also went out to get a soccer ball so that we’ll have one we can call our own for future events.  (For the ISTE event, we all shared the other teams’ soccer balls.)

Demo teams - 2036, 1583, and 1158

A big THANK YOU to Chris and Vignesh who participated even though they already graduated, and also to Tim and Melynda.

We have several photos on Picasaweb, and I hope to add a short video to this post  soon.

This was a great experience, and let’s look for opportunities to publicize our team whenever possible (especially if it would mean more donations)!

]]> http://fhsrobotics.org/?feed=rss2&p=188 1 E-mail from David Clark: parent consent form online http://fhsrobotics.org/?p=142 http://fhsrobotics.org/?p=142#comments Thu, 10 Dec 2009 13:24:42 +0000 EmilyG http://fhsrobotics.org/?p=142 David Clark e-mailed some important information to the Monarch and Fairview teams on 12/9/2009. This is the subset of the e-mail that is relevant for the Fairview team:

Hello Team,

Parents and students need to go to

https://my.usfirst.org/frc/goteams/site.lasso and fill out the form there. This takes the place of the Consent and Release Forms we have done in the past and creates an elecronic roster for us. This is for students and parents only. Mentors still need to fill out the form the old fashioned way. I am attaching that form & we’ll need those for the 2010 kickoff. Parents will give electronic permission through the web page mentioned above. Alternatively, students can fill out the paper form and bring it back to me if you would rather do it that way.

December 8th is Monarch’s last meeting before the Kickoff, please return your field trip permission form to me. I am attaching that form as well just in case didn’t get one. Fairview students are welcome to ride the bus with us as well. We will leave from Monarch at 7:00 & return around noon.
