Thank you, Nordson ASYMTEK, for choosing LCC Robotics to receive a grant this season! We’re proud to have you as a sponsor.

Special thanks to Stephen des Jardins for facilitating the process!

We have a new team sponsor: Dassault Systèmes

We received licenses for SOLIDWORKS CAD software to help us design our robot in our rookie year.

Thanks, Dassault Systèmes!

We now have a team calendar on the right-hand side of our site. This will list all our upcoming events.

Our next team meeting is on Wednesday at Lunch in Mrs. Thile’s room.

Here are a few items we’ll cover:

1. Update on the status of our NASA rookie team grant request
2. Find a time to meet after school at SDA with their robotics team leaders, mentors and teacher/advisor to plan how we will work together this season
3. Divide up list of potential sponsors and write letters requesting funding
4. Having parents fill out required forms from US FIRST to allow you to be an FRC team member

See you there!

p.s. here’s another YouTube video to inspire you. Dave Lavery is the Program Executive for Solar System Exploration at NASA Headquarters. Dave talks about how the FIRST Program relates to the real world.

For anyone interested, there is an opportunity to help elementary and middle-school teams this weekend. We’ve put together a practice FIRST LEGO League tournament in conjunction with a local FLL team, The Pithons. The tournament is this Sunday.
