Pictures from the competition are up! Tag as deemed necessary.
There is a robotics meeting from 5-7 this Tuesday. If there is any reason why you should not be able to make it please notify a captain or Mrs. Winston!

New pictures are up!
The robot was Bag and Tagged today which means the build season is officially over. Always a bittersweet moment for the team. All that's left to do is do some final preparations before the competition.
Next build meeting is next Tuesday from 5-7. Don't forget to get permission slips signed and take your $20 to Mrs. Boone and return the receipt to Mrs. Winston!
The results with the robot were very satisfying especially considering the team is so young this year. Good job to everyone! Take this time to relax. Bayou is in 3 weeks!

Kick-off was a success today! We're pumped and ready to get started. The game is Rebound Rumble. Go look over the rules, study the field, etc etc.
Meetings this week are Tuesday and Thursday from 5-7 and Saturday from 9-2. If you cannot attend a meeting let a captain or Mrs. Winston know! Be checking your emails frequently for updates.
Get mentally prepared because it's going to be a rigorous season. Biggest game yet, guys!
"Let's make the world proud of us."

Hope everyone is having a good winter break and is enjoying his/her time away from school!
Check your emails for the FIRST season schedule. We will have our first MANDATORY meeting next Wednesday from 5-7. If you cannot attend please let a captain or Mrs. Winston know. If you need a schedule, email Mrs. Winston.
Kick-off is next Saturday, January 7th from 8-3. Specific times TBA.

Hope everybody is enjoying their Christmas break
Just a reminder about the Christmas Crusade wrapping party tomorrow at 11!

2011-2012 HLHS Robotics Team

Our next meeting will be this Wednesday, 11/9, from 5:00 - 7:00. We will be talking about fundraising and getting sponsors. We have also volunteered to help with Mrs. Sowell's Christmas Crusade. The Crusade will be helping 20 families in the county that can't afford Christmas. We will discuss this at the meeting. Another part of the meeting will involve cleaning and organizing the shop and getting everyone some experience with design and build.

Please check AND RESPOND to your email!

Congratulations to Team Intrepid for being one of the top four finalists today! Hopefully everyone had a great time and there's more to come. This is only the beginning, guys. The newer ones got a feel for what's ahead, and we know what to expect for FIRST. This was only practice and there's nothing else to do except get prepared for FIRST next semester.
I wouldn't be any prouder of you guys no matter what placement we got. Placement means absolutely nothing. Half of the team was missing, no Captain, and all of you stepped up and acted as leaders today. We made it to the finals, and that should be enough to show everyone what we're made of. There are improvements to be made and the team is only going to improve with every passing day.

Good job, guys.

Just wanted to wish you guys good luck today with Superfly! Hopefully presentations went well last night and now it's Superfly's turn. Don't forget to stay focused and communicate. Those are essential for us to be regional bound! Keep me posted guys :)
