January Update

Total concentration

We are just a few weeks away from our first competition of the season at UNM. We are trying to finish up our robots so we can squeak in some practice time before the event. Of our two teams, one nearly has their robot completed. The other is working on the intake system. We're all keeping our fingers crossed that they will work!

This extra effort equals a need for extra energy and we're so grateful that Luigi's is just up the road. Their pizza is the highlight of practice and gives us a much-needed break.

Luigi's keeps us fueled up for the hours of practice ahead!

School Life as Real Life--Here is our math for the cost comparison per square inch of a slice of pizza. 

Some of the highlights from this week's practices include:

• near completion of one robot
• T-shirt design ideas for each team (The Syntax Errors and the Octobots)
• Seeing great teamwork and cooperation
• Securing food donations for the UNM event (way to go Ms. S!)
• Beginning the programming for the autonomous period--thanks Mr. Brian, Ms. S and Ms. K!
• Watching video of matches around the world for strategy and design ideas
• Having a whole lot of fun!
