The reason I have been quiet lately, is that my Robot Teams recently competed. I mentor two teams at Hillcrest, Team 4866 and Team 5763. <\/p>\n
Team 5763 was asked to the alliance. The chief building was focusing on the Bowling Ball which got 48 points at least each time, and they were listed as #2 most of the time during the Qualifying Rounds<\/p>\n
We have two major sponsors:<\/p>\n
\nTeam 4866 is sponsored by the Texas Workforce Commission<\/p>\n
Team 5763 is sponsored by the Junior League of Dallas<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
We have some major work to do if we want to be successful, and I am having the kids work on that now. <\/p>\n
First is the engineering notebook. I have a kid that likes technical writing, I just need to get him to focus. I\u2019m helping him a lot with that.<\/p>\n
Second is programming. The kids haven\u2019t gotten enough experience programming and I am planning on getting all the drivers to learn programming well as the builders. Leaving the robots at home, and learning just the Lego parts has helped. Everything IS back at school, and I am letting one of the builders build when he comes in at lunch.<\/p>\n
Another part is t-shirts, and I am seriously thinking of requiring money from each student to cover t-shirts. So far, I\u2019ve not asked the kids to contribute financially.<\/p>\n
Our next event is the school\u2019s Open House, and I am going to have some of the drivers come and drive. I also need to get flyers together. <\/p>\n
We\u2019re also going to the district\u2019s Computer Science Open House later this month.<\/p>\n
There are two ways to help contribute to the team, we have a Caf\u00e9 Press fund raiser at http:\/\/www.cafepress.com\/hillcrestpantherrobotics<\/a> and I always have a Donor\u2019s Choose project at http:\/\/www.donorschoose.com\/kweaver<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
