Cancellations oh noez

This past Friday (July 3rd, 2009) a bunch of us showed up for a meeting.


The door to get into the school was locked (it usually is) and we had to call a custodian to come let us in/turn off the alarm (like we usually have to).

We stood there waiting for the guy to let us in but when he got there he had a chart in his hand. This chart was the chart saying what groups of people will be in the school on what days and he told us/showed us that the school district (or..who ever is in charge of that kind of thing) had canceled all activities/groups meeting at the school for the weekend because of the fact that this weekend is a holiday weekend. So we also didn't have a meeting yesterday (July 4th 09) either.

Being behind a couple of days isn't a big deal at the moment because it's not the Build Season yet (not time for our next big competition) and we aren't exactly in a rush to get anything done, especially because we are still only in planning stages for the shipping crate design. (the paint job part of it)

NOW we get a couple days off... lol thats allz
Laterz,

Shipping Crate

Currently we are working on a new shipping crate for our robot. The crate is built and it is really nice. It has a a coat rack for when we are at competition plus a lock box for the team member's valuables built in. We just finished a base coat of white paint on it. Next comes the decisions of what to put as the designs, symbols, and colors for the main coat. Well that's pretty much the update for now.
