Our World Class T.E.A.M.

 With every new season comes new team members and this year our team is excited to be welcoming three of them! Our newest team members are Alanna, Christopher, and Kenneth. Great new additions that fit right in with our returning members: Alex, Jessica, Peyton, and Avery. We also have three former team members that have graduated out of FLL and now are returning as mentors: Madeline and Curtis who have been mentoring for three years, and Spencer who just graduated from the team.

 Our team kicked off the year with a meeting the night the project was released. This way we could start our brainstorming process as soon as possible. With a marker board and dry-erase marker in hand, we spent the meeting coming up with different ideas. By the time the meeting was over, the board was filled with tons of different problems and ideas for our project.

At our next meeting we built this year's robot field! After about two hours of building and a pizza party, the board was finally done! When the board was finished, we had a short team meeting until the parents arrived. We had another short brainstorming session and came up with a whole bunch of ideas. Then we discussed possible robot designs and what sort of chassis would work best for this year's board.

On Thursday night some of our team members got the opportunity to learn more advanced programming from another team (last year known as the Glow-Getters). We had a great meeting with them and learned some great tips for programming the gyro sensor and at being more accurate, more consistently. It was awesome to be able to work with another team and see each other work with out all the pressure of the tournament. Thanks Glow-Getters!
