It's official!!! The Robotics Team is sponsering a movie night on February 4th, in the Lakeland Auditorium! Come and support our team, and enjoy watching Transformers on the big screen. (again!) More details to come soon, and many more movie nights to follow...
Also, the team as been working every day after school, and we will be for the next five weeks! The team has been working hard on starting to cut peices and plan out our robot even more. Graphic Design team is hard to work on making our Imagrey just as great as it has been the past two years running, Business team has been running all over the place trying to raise money for the club and get everything in (some sort of) order, and the build team has been brainstorming every single day, but it will all be worth it soon when we finally send our robot off!

And so...Week two begins!
Week two has started this weekend, and team 223 has not stopped working! The whole team has been staying after school making all the huge decisions, and trying to figure out how we want everything to work. Today, on our day off of school, we headed back to the Robotics room. We tested out many different ideas, and are finally coming to down to having to robot out on paper!
Also, we have a lot of ideas flying around about doing fund raising. As of right now, we have a movie night planned for February 5th (date subject to change) to see Transformers in the Lakeland Auditorium. Come support!
Check back later this week for another update!
Only five more weeks!!!

Kickoff 2010!!!
Yesterday was the official start of the FIRST Robotics season of 2010! Our travel team, except a couple of the boys, went to NJIT to watch the unveiling of this year's game, Breakaway, along with a bunch of other FIRST teams. The game this year is a spin off of soccer, so having the varsity soccer coach in charge can really come in handy! You can watch the animation here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEHAj3EmpMw.
Afterwords, the team jumped in the car and rushed over to the vex competition to cheer on some of the boys - hitting every red light on the way, of course. Unfortunately, by the time we had finally gotten to Summit High School, our team was already eliminated. Still, we stuck around the competition and cheered on the other teams there. Although Robot Club is not associated with VEX, we still walked away from the competition with a lot more experience and ready to start off our season.
Today, our members all went into the school for long day of decision making and getting work done. For the first hour or two, we just sat around and threw out ideas on the robot, did we want to have a kicker or a bully? a bigger robot, or a smaller one? At the end of the day, we were fully prepared for the next six weeks of building our robot.
Stick around and read the rest of our blogs! We will post a new one at least once a week.
