Today was the scrimmage ahead of our first competition! I think both teams learned a lot today, which was very good and very important. This simulated what an actual competition will be like without the pressure of needing the robots to do well because it doesn't actually count for points. Our first competition will be one week from tomorrow on December 9, 2018. Please note that our first competition is on a Sunday. I will shortly send out more information on this competition.

We are having an additional meeting tonight from 6-8:30pm ahead of the scrimmage tomorrow. This is an optional meeting, so no worries if students are unable to attend.

This is a reminder that we will be having meetings today, 11/19/2018, and tomorrow, 11/20/2018, at the usual 6pm - 8:30pm.
We will be having two meetings over the upcoming November break in two weeks. We will meet Monday, November 19th, and Tuesday, November 20th from 6pm - 8:30pm. As this is during a break, they are optional meetings, so it's alright if you are busy or unable to attend.
During the night meeting on Tuesday, November 27, 2018, we will be taking the club picture for the yearbook. Please be on time for that meeting, and please wear this year's team shirts!
Shirts have arrived! Reminder that they are $12 each. We will be handing them out beginning on Tuesday.
I will be sending out an email with more details (and logistics) when I have it, but here is some general information about the scrimmage. It is part of the San Diego STEAM Maker Festival at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The Maker Festival website: http://www.sansmf.org/ San Diego FTC has prepared some information about our involvement: http://www.sdftc.org/steammakerscrimmage2018.html We are signed up for the 8am to noon time slot on December 1, 2018. There is supposed to be more logistical information coming from the event planners soon. For now, the important thing to know is that we are expected to be at the Del Mar Fairgrounds at 7:45am on Saturday, December 1, 2018. Again, I will send more information when I have it.
Next Tuesday, 11/6/2018, is the date of the midterm elections. One of the two rooms that we use at MCHS is a polling site, so we will not be meeting on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. Instead, we will meet Monday, November 5, 2018 from 6pm - 8:30pm. Meetings Week of 11/5/2018: - Monday, November 5, 2018, 6pm-8:30pm - Thursday, November 8, 2018, 6pm-8:30pm
During our night meeting yesterday, the students voted to extend our night meetings by a half hour to increase the amount of meeting time they have before competitions. The new meeting times for the remainder of the competition season are Tuesday and Thursday from 6pm - 8:30pm. This schedule will start with next Tuesday's meeting, October 30, 2018. As always, if a student needs to leave early or cannot stay the extra half hour, they are absolutely allowed to leave when they need to. If a student still needs to leave at 8pm, that is perfectly okay.
