Build Season
We now have a very good idea of what our robot will be. Our Inventor model is almost complete. There is still a long way to go. We have decided to use a rocker wheel configuration to help our bot get over the bumps. Just a couple weeks to go!

Breakaway
Well, what a kickoff! We all had a great day of strategy brainstorming. We spent part of today listing robot hoist configurations. Everything from grappling hooks to balloons! Everyone has different ideas of how to play the game. Our next week will be nothing but after-school meets and prototyping. We hope to hold our final design vote on Friday after dinner. We hope to do well this year in Long Beach, as well as in San Diego. Good luck to everyone out there!

Kickoff!!
The 2010 build season begins this Saturday. For the rookies who have never been to a kickoff event, it mainly consists of speeches, safety animations, speeches, and eventually a game animation. Hope to see you all at the kickoff to learn all about the new game and rules.
