What a crazy two weeks...!

PHEW! What a hectic past six weeks, but the day has finally come; the shipment day for our new robot! We've all worked so hard for this day, and now...relax. Yeah, Right. Nope, now our team is in full speed preparing for our first competition of the season, the New Jersey Regional (March 5-7), Team 223 has been staying after everyday and we are almost there. :-) This year, our travel team consists of several new freshman members; we are thrilled to bring them along and share our knowledge with them for their upcoming seasons.
In other news, Our website is officially up and running! Team223.com has been around for about a half a year now, but it is all done now. Head of web design, senior Heather T., has been working for a long time with this website, and we are hoping for the web design award this year!
Keep your eyes open, there will be several blogs in preparation for this first competition!

Weeks Three and Four

Team 223 has been working day and night preparing our robot. Halfway through our six week limit, we are looking good! The team is confident of the robot and we are all so excited to begin our official compeition season.
This past Sunday was the 8th grade open house. As always, team 223 was stylin' and we got at least 35 interested 8th graders! (Could it have been the Taylor Swift playing? Or maybe Mr. Nelson juggling? Personally, I think it was the "Randy Coren" chant!) It was a fun break from the stress of building the robot and everyone seemed to have a great time!
Tonight, Thursday Feb. 4th, the robotics club is having a movie night! We will be showing Transformers in the Lakeland Auditorium at 6:30. We will also be selling popcorn and drinks. Come and support to watch a great movie!
