TO BRING:
Hello Team,
Before we continue onto more events in May (which there are many) we have one more event this month.
We have been invited to this Wednesday’s School Committee Meeting. There will be a short presentation of our season covering the start of our season (with no shop) to our win and onto our future plans. This will also include a demo of our robot.
We want to pack the Selectman’s Room at the Town Hall during our meeting, so this event is an ALL TEAM event!! We would like everyone to join us with your Team Shirt and metals, we will even have our Duct Tape flag there.
To prepare we will meet at 6:00pm at the High School to load our gear then we will head to Town Hall for a 7:00pm start.
If you have any question please email Raj (raj@shrewsburyrobotics.org)
Go Team!
Hello Team,
Unfortunately, due to time and financial constraints, we have decided to postpone our ticket to the FIRST National competition until 2013. The $6000 entry fee is due tomorrow, and the cost of the hotel is due on Friday. It simply is not feasible to organize a trip and to raise the funds necessary to travel to St. Louis in the next four days.
Postponing the trip will allow the team to raise funds in a less frantic fashion and to not spend our hard-raised money on last-minute airfare and hotel charges. We think that this is the financially responsible way to deal with our successes this year, and will allow us to plan a trip for everyone on the team to remember for 2013.
We cannot tell you how proud of we are of the entire team. The team started without a shop room and with a large set of new kids. Over the fall we formed a disparate group of kids into a cohesive team. Once we had access to the shop you learned the equipment and built a championship robot that was the aesthetic envy of every Washington D.C. attendee. With a year to organize and plan, next year’s trip to St. Louis will be a trip to remember!
Go Team!
Raj, Kush, Tim, Paul, Tsom, Gina, Nancy, Callan, Carol, Judy, Rich, Melanie, Adam
Hello Everyone,

We entered the Finals as the 2nd Seeded Alliance with Team 357 and Team 2914.

In our final match we defeated the 1st Seeded Alliance to become the 2012 Washington DC Regional Champions.
Hello Team!
Last week’s build time was great, we got a lot done but were not done yet! There is still a lot to do before we leave for Washington DC, so we are going to meet this Monday and Tuesday from 6pm-9pm. We need to pack all of our gear, pack our robot, and do a final clean up of our room.
Because we are so close to our trip we want to use this time to remind you of a few things:
