Hi everyone!
We’re finally back after six months! Sorry for the bizarre blogging schedule; we’ll try to keep it as consistent as possible.
The school year has started, so we’ve been getting more serious about working on robots and getting the ball rolling. Just yesterday was the JBHS Club Rush, and we got 13 sign up signatures!! The BHS club rush is coming up too, so we hope to get even more students interested.
If you’re want to know what it’s like as a new member on the team, here’s my experience so far:
Prior to joining Team 980, I worked with Legos, tiny robots, and Scratch block programming in FLL. But now, I’m in a massive workspace with soldering irons, drills, and bandsaws, so forgive me if I’m not writing about everything; it’s all new to me!
Even so, all the team members and mentors have been very welcoming and understanding. I’ve been given a quick tour around, have peeked into the team’s snack bin, and have watched as other people discussed different parts while they modeled a robot. Another member of Fabrication, Zoe, even let me try using the soldering iron (under her watchful eye, of course).
I’ve joined the Business team and started working on updating the website/rewriting things with Mia, who’s a part of Controls & Business. We’ve been delegated with the task of keeping this blog up to date, so hopefully, you guys will get timely updates about everything going on here! I’m really excited to continue being a part of this team and eventually go to competition!!
