Finally, today is the day of the LAN Party. The event is from 5-8PM. Volunteers should arrive at 4:30 for setup. Members are encouraged to either volunteer or participate. The gamestop prizes are…interesting (couple good ones) and there will be yummy baked goods. Be sure to show up!

Robotics LAN is facebook official

Amanda — Sun, 09 May 2010 17:13:41 +0000

LAN season has begun, and we are working on promotional materials as we speak. Keith and Clay are doing animations, Marc-Antoine and Adam are coordinating a dance for the assembly, and Josh Li is even making a page on the site where you can order tickets.

However, we need full team support to make this event a success. Members need to spread the word, and get as many people hyped up as possible. Unlike most events, we cannot rely on parent attendance. We need student support.

If you have a Facebook, go to our fan page and find the event listing. Invite your friends and make yourself an attendee. The more people who know about the event, the better. Best case scenario: we sell out all 64 tickets, giving us reason to make an even bigger (and more profitable) event next time around

Anyone ages 14-18 are invited to come, so bring people from other schools as well!

Thank you so much! This is gonna be a lot of fun!

Amanda — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 08:16:49 +0000

Hey guys!

I know a lot of the PR kids have been confused about what they should be doing during build season. Fortunately, we have lots of new, high-profile work to do! This Wednesday, we ask that all PR/FR members attend at our regular meeting time. We will being assigning new duties, (so if you’re sick of companies or grants, be sure to show up). First come first serve!

If you’re interested in doing interesting, high-profile work, now’s the time to really start working. Your efforts in publicity and communications will be imperative to the success of the team this season!

Preseason Workshop Carpool update!

Amanda — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:59:57 +0000

Good news! So far, we have parents that are able to drive 24 members! However, two parents, driving a total of 12 members will be leaving around lunch. Thus, it may be a good idea to arrange pickup from Bonney Lake if you do not wish to leave at this time.

Also, Mr. Woo, who is willing to take 5 additional members, will be picking students up in South Bellevue. If this is more convenient than driving out to Interlake, PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP! Otherwise, his five seats will be useless in our effort to make sure everyone can get to the workshop.

If anyone is still interested in volunteering for FLL on Sunday, please contact Teresa ASAP!

Robotics meeting tomorrow, 10/14

Amanda — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 03:11:57 +0000

Hey all! just wanted to let everyone to know that yes, we WILL be having a meeting tomorrow, AKA Super Wednesday. I understand that some members were unsure.

See you tomorrow! Good luck on your ‘tests’ sophomores/juniors!

BBQ Pics

Amanda — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 14:46:38 +0000

Does anyone have pictures that their parents took during the barbecue? Mr. Koenig suggested attaching them to the next parent newsletter, which I would like to send out fairly soon
Thanks
