Yeah, that's me. All that's left to do is the wiring, so once I get the Firecrackers it'll be up and running.

Hey Mike

Good to see you back on the scene...best of luck...I hopeChris gets those esc's done in time.

The rest of you botsIQ people should make a best effort to get there.....I think that they'll continue the IW class if they get a decent showing.

Where's Rick Frisco?????

Alex...if you haven't fought on wood before, this would be a good op to check that out.

I can try but idk yet. Depends on our funding and stuff next year...

Alex, where are you colleging?

its not to bad i think you could make it lol

well for me atleast it was bad

er well did i ever tell you about how I havent bought a book for school yet? well i think i need to start, its getting hard now

buy them all online

that sucks

you can go on our bookstore website and put in you course number and it tells you what book. Then you find it somewhere else

i would want to take them.
We could be the only ones in the class and go 1-2 haha

If no one shows, maybe they'll let you fight the 12's?

Could be very interesting...

if he takes off the drum lol

im on on new mission, any suggestions for a less expensive esc then bb or scorpions?

IIII""""""MMMMMMMM BBBBAAAACCCCKKKKK !!!

Just go done talking to Pete Smith and I guess He has woke me up for the 2010-2011 season....

I had to take a big break with my son for Baseball season...

He had regular season and all star season to play through this year.......

Anyway, It is August something... 16th to be exact...

I am back in the swing of things but way behind schedule on getting up to date with what is going on in the world of robots....

Ok so far here is what we have going on to date:

August 25th... visual presentation at National STEM meeting with all robots

Fall 2010 up to Thanksgiving break... CNC of parts for new bots and multiple fundraisers...

October Hoping to take old robots to Franklin but wont know until I get back to school and get permission.

Not having a fall competition as planned this year ;-(

We still have about 2 weeks of finishing up the spring designs once we get back to school.

Definately doing NERC (15lb and 12lb)

Definately doing Dayton

Definately doing Local BotsIQ

????? doing Nationals
I have a 8 and Under PONY league World Series to Plan here locally and Depends on time requirements.
If I dont go then one of the other teachers will go.

So Far that is what I have going on..

Send me some more updates so i can mark the calender before it fills up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pay the Parents back...... Then maybe they will give you a few bucks back and then you will be ahead

I'm thinking of going to this with a small gaggle of bots

ant melty, beatle melty, Sting, It stings (12) and maybe a 12 pound melty...

But i would need help...driver(s)/ wrenches...

Anyone going?

If schedule works out, I may tag along with someone (frisco/josh). We'll see...

at this point, it looks like ill be there with lolcano as a 12lber and possibly a teammate with an omni directional drum. but nothing is set in stone yet.

I'll be there with my 30lber, so I'll likely have time to lend a hand.

You feel like driving/wrenching some bots? maybe the 2 drumbots 3 and 12 and I'll handle the meltys

Sounds good to me.

I'll need to ship the bots (or at least the lipos) somewhere ...

Got a decent place to stay there? perhaps a hotel right near Franklin...save the rent a car, etc.

I could ups my stuff to the hotel???

Thanks

I haven't figured out hotel stuff, but I was planning on driving down from the Boston area Friday evening.

Feel free to shoot me an email so we can start working out the details.
