Today, we were asked by the Interlake ASB and Sammamish Robotics team if we would bring our robot to their Walk For Aidan event on Saturday the 16th for a ‘robot race’.

We will thus be needing volunteers from our team to help at the event. Jobs could include robot monitoring/maintenance or running items, on top of what Sammamish wants us to do.

The event will run that day from 10-2, so we will want volunteers showing up around nine. I understand that it would be a lot to ask of you guys to stay the entire time, so perhaps we can break it into shifts:

Shift 1: 9-11 (setup)
Shift 2: 11-1 (event work, important for anyone managing the robot to be here, obviously)
Shift 3: 1-3 (break down and clean up, money counting)

This event can help us build alliances with a number of neighboring schools, spread the word about our team, and even earn brownie points towards a chairman’s award. Therefore it is important that as many of us as possible be there to support our team. So everyone try to at least show up for one of these shifts!

One caveat: volunteers do have to pay $10 admission to the event (wearing an Aidan shirt gets you in for 5). However, all proceeds are going to charity, and you get a shirt out of it. Plus, you are doing so to support everyone’s favorite robotics team!

Please tell me if you can make it!
