Playing Field


The students have been busily building and we now have our "playing field" complete (minus a few details on the bridge). It looks very cool and should prove interesting. I can't wait to see if teams can keep their robot on top of the bridge should they attempt to go up there.

Sponsors
We are lucky and grateful to have 3 gracious sponsors this year. This will allow us to break into 4 official FLL teams which means that each team will be smaller and more agile. With 26 students, we will have two teams of 6 and two teams of 7. I really look forward to that. I will be forming the teams in the coming week or so. Note that there are still a couple of students that have not turned in a sign-up sheet. I will bug you directly next week for those if they are not turned in because we will be ordering shirts soon.

Handbooks
You can get a soft copy of the student's handbook HERE. We keep each student's handbook in the room but feel free to download and/or print a copy for your student to study after homework and chores.

Come to a Meeting
Please feel free to come to a meeting anytime and see what we are up to. I always keep the little box in the upper right of the blog up-to-date with a list of the coming meetings.

As usual, call me or Mrs. Sullivan anytime with issues or questions.

Thanks for reading,
Chris.
