Chief Delphi Reminder

Hi everyone!

Just as a reminder, make sure to make an account of Chief Delphi before Build Season comes along if you haven't already! This is one of the most used websites in robotics (other than usfirst.org) and will be a great help come Build Season. We use CD to clarify rules with other teams so no one is breaking the rules. There are also a few teams who will give hints about their robot on there, which might spark an idea for our own robot. Plus, during Build Season we usually have homework about what we saw on Chief Delphi the night before a meeting.So make an account and browse around Chief Delphi so you get used to the website before there are thousands of threads going. If you have a question about anything you see, maybe what a specific thread is about or whether we could maybe use a concept, shoot an email to a mentor or the team to see what everyone thinks about it.

See everyone tomorrow!

FLL Competition

Hi everyone,

Because questions have been asked about tomorrow's FLL event, I am going to take the opportunity to answer all questions for everyone's benefit.

-- The FRC students are to be at the Student Center at Rowan University by 2 pm. The Student Center is next door to the Rowan Bookstore. If you get lost, please call either myself or Mat and we will help get you to the Student Center.
-- Please park in Parking Lot A, otherwise you will be issued a ticket. Not a "Rowan" ticket but a "City of Glassboro" ticket.
-- Eat lunch beforehand or bring a lunch with you. The Cafeteria is open tomorrow, but it is $8 per person to get in. Plus, if you are busy eating in the Cafeteria, you will not get to see the RoboTechs or the Lunabots performing in the robot part of the competition.
-- Wear your blue shiny shirt tomorrow.

Remember: all FRC students are requested to attend this competition to show support for the two FLL teams.

See everyone tomorrow!!
