3 days!!

Our robot has to be bagged up by 12 midnight on Tuesday, February 18th. We are under a lot of pressure to get the robot completed. Along with getting everything built, students are also preparing for an audition and a test. In order to drive the robot, work the appendage, or act as the human player during the competition, students must demonstrate their skills and abilities. A paper test is given to test understanding of rules and requirements for the game, and students must demonstrate their skills by driving the robot. Whichever student does the best in each category will be rewarded with the title of driver, appendage operator, or human player.

While all of this is happening downstairs, upstairs we are continuing to work hard as well. Our business plan was submitted for judging recently. We are also working towards submitting for the Media and Technology Innovation award. This award focuses on how our team uses technology to branch out and make ourselves known. As part of this, we have recently published our  new and improved website, Rpm156.com, created a Facebook page, Fairview High School FIRST Robotics Team 156: RPM,  and created this blog. We are also considering creating a You T
ube channel. In order to prepare for our competition, we are also working hard on preparing our mascot, our team uniform, our Chairman's speech, and our Chairman's video.

Great progress has been made in all parts of our team. Keep it up, Team 156: RPM!!!
