FLL Competition

Hi everyone!

We have received the schedule for the FLL competition on December 4th. As stated earlier, the FRC students are asked to attend the competition to support both FLL Team 4790, the RoboTechs, and FLL Team 4791, the Lunabots.

The competition is being held in the Rowan University Student Center, which is where the cafeteria is. It is the building right next to book store. Tentatively, the schedule for the public is as follows:

Opening Ceremony at 10:00-10:30

Robot Performance Rounds at 2:15-4:00

Closing Ceremony at 4:30-5:00

In between Opening Ceremony and Robot Performance Rounds is closed off to the public for the judging sessions.

Here is the link with the schedules for the team, coaches, and the public:

We hope to see everyone there on Saturday!

Team Update: November 22, 2010

Hi everyone!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Here are just a few reminders for the rest of the 2010 season.

There is no meeting this week. Our next meeting is on Thursday, December 2.

The holiday party is December 9 at 6:30 pm. The R.S.V.P date is December 5. Please reply to sjroboticsfll@gmail.com with how many people will be attending from your family and what you are planning on bringing. We are doing a polyanna again this year for the students with a $10 limit for the price of the gifts.

The two FLL teams (team 4790 out of Quinton Middle School and team 4791 out of Salem Community College) are participating in their first competition on December 4 at Rowan University in Glassboro. The FRC team is requested to be in attendance to support the two teams.

Thank you Mr. Cardona for making the 2010 DVD! It means a lot to everyone on the team that you used your time to make the DVD for us!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Team Update: November 9, 2010

Hi everyone!

Last night we practiced driving the robot and worked on figuring out Drive Teams for Saturday.

Mr. Fordham asked Mat to fix one of the batteries and Sammy to fix the battery charger that is broken. All the batteries are to be plugged in and charging between Thursday night and Friday night.

See everyone tomorrow! Don't forget to bring Script Order forms!
