Kickoff is quickly approaching for 2017! This Saturday, January 7, we are scheduled to meet at the Vidant Administration building from 9:30 to 3:45. However! We may have bad weather conditions on Saturday. Please keep posted. Watch your email for information. If the roads are not good, we will let you know. Call, text or email if you’re not sure. Even if we get stuck at home, you can still download the encrypted rules (download here at: http://www.firstinspires.org/resource-library/frc/competition-manual-qa-system) and you can watch the kickoff at this address (http://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/frc/2017-broadcast). If we get stuck at home, we’ll all watch it online and set up a on line conference.

We also handed out the team schedule on Tuesday. People on the “A” shift will be with us every night. “B” shift will join us on Mondays and Thursdays. “C” Shift will join us on Tuesdays and Fridays. Wednesday will be for special projects. Everybody comes in on Saturday and Sunday. Let us know if there are any questions/concerns with this schedule. SOMEBODY will be in the shop every night till 2/21 except for exam nights. We will be updating the calendar. The next meetings (weather permitting) are Saturday (for kickoff) and Sunday (“A” Shift only). Monday, January 9 will be the first regular night using the split schedule. See you Saturday (I hope!).
