The New Blog
Hello, and welcome to team 4674’s official blog! This blog will be a weekly post of the main things happening within our team. We will give notifications of fundraisers, post photos, tell you about up-coming events and give you the basic information.
Parents! We need you help!
Build
Season is coming! Our Kick-off event at
Nevis High School is January 9th. This
is the big day we find out what the game is for this season. The following six weeks are spent using every
minute of every day we can to build an amazing robot. This is where you come in parents! We need parents to volunteer to help/mentor
students after school for the 6 weeks that follow January 9th. Any amount to time you can commit would be
amazing. If you have any experience in
metals, electricity, machining, programing, running business or carpentry we
need you! There will be a short
informational meeting at 5pm at BHS in room 2155 on January 5th to organize a
group of parents that are willing to help us.
Every successful FIRST Robotics team has a host of volunteer mentors that
make the team strong. For more information
call our coach Chris Conway at 218-556-3645.
Popcorn Fundraiser
Our
first fundraiser is here! We are currently selling
popcorn from the Popcorn Factory, a company that makes fresh bagged
popcorn upon order. Currently we have the following flavors available in 6 oz.
bags for $4: Caramel and Almond.
These flavors are only $2 and at 1.5 oz.: White Cheddar and Jalapeno. We are
also selling popcorn balls for $1 and are 1 oz.
LaValley Industries
On
December 22, we will be going to Lavalley Industries and presenting to them about who we are. They will be
one of the many companies and businesses that we will go to in order to get
support for our team.
The Kickoff
On
January 9th we will be going to the kickoff! At this event we will
be getting our first peek at what our event is going to be based on and how to play the game. This will be the start of our intensive
build season in which most of the work will be done, including the construction
of our robot. Our team is leaving
the High School at 7am and returning by 5pm on this day.
