Tonight we discussed the different drive train ideas to try out for next year possibly. The one we decided to test out was Christian's idea of using Swerve Drive. That involves four wheels being on the same motor. We would have the ability to rotate all four wheels at the same time in the same direction.
We also discussed the combined 50 ideas of fundraising that Christian and Mat came up with over the past week. After writing them all on the board, each student was to vote for five different options. The top five were: Coin Drop, Car Wash, Big Sponsors (grants), Movie Nights, and Sport Tournament. We would incorporate the other choices, such as Jelly Bean Counts, Raffles, and Concession Stands, into the bigger options as well.
Of those five ideas, two students were assigned to each to come up with dates, materials needed, if we can incorporate other fundraising ideas in with them, and timing for each step of planning (when each step should be completed by). The following explains the specific requirements for each of the top five ideas and who is assigned to them:
Coin Drop (Mat and Christian)
- choose date(s)
- prepare materials
- Christian is going to confirm the date(s)
Car Wash (Sammy and Ally)
- choose date(s)
- contact Mr. Fordham with when we would like to do the car wash
- pre-sale tickets (including cost)
- make up flyers about program
- possible raffle?
Sports Tournament (Collin and Mikey)
Big Sponsors (grants) (Ally and Rachel)
Movie Night (Sammy and Shannon)
- SCC Date
- Advertisements
- concessions
- raffle
For the assigned tasks above, the requirements listed earlier are needed by next Tuesday.
Following is a list of upcoming dates to keep in mind:
Thursday May 27: the Math Showcase at SCC from 9 am until 2 pm. We will not have robotics that night.
Tuesday, June 1: our next meeting

Hope everybody has a fun week ahead of them! Enjoy your Memorial Day
