Hi all members!
Remember that we will have a parent meeting on September 30th from 7PM to 8PM in Mr. Cooney’s room (1808). Please make sure your parents come, especially if this is your first year participating in Saints Robotics. We will be discussing what the club does, how we are different from other clubs as well as how parents can help us succeed in many ways this year.
Make sure they can come!
Remember to pay your $25 participation fees by September 30th!! Go to Mrs. Brown, the accountant to pay. Checks must be made out to Interlake High School with Saints Robotics Fees in the memo line.
See you all tomorrow team!
Hi guys,
Important notice to all of you and all who want to participate. Saints Robotics is organizing a carwash THIS SUNDAY (August 2nd) anytime from 8AM to 6 PM. We have the whole day to ourselves and it will be at Jitter’s coffee next to Sears.
The full address is “15010 NE 20th St, Redmond, WA 98052″
Jitters provides all the water for the carwash, but we need to bring our own rags, soap and sponges. That means that if you come, we would like you to bring at least something that we need. We will be organizing days to make posters before then so we are ready for the carwash. If we can make a hefty amount of cash this is something we will probably repeat, and don’t worry, it will be a ton of fun.
if you can come, please tell my brother, Marc-Antoine and email him or text him (ma-fontenelle@hotmail.com or text at 425-516-9069. Really try come and we will have a lot of fun. You don’t have to come for the whole thing but if you can come for a couple hours, tell Marc and we will have a really successful and fun event!!!

Don’t forget that ROBOTICS IS BACK! We do have a meeting this wednesday so be sure to come. We will be working on organizing the end of the year BBQ and many other fun activities, so make sure you can at least try to come.
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!
Hi everybody!
The end of the year Picnic will be held at Crossroads Park (check back for more details) on June 13th from 7PM to 9PM. These are approximate times, but we will need people to be there at around 6:30 to 9:30 to help set up and break down. See the OpenGoo note for specific details on what is needed.
This event will basically sum up our year together, and don’t forget, this event is also made for your parents and family members! This event will be a kind of potluck so everybody should try to bring some food (we will have specifics later, but eg: chips, buns, hot dog meat things, condiments, cookies, salads etc…)
This will be a super fun event so we hope everybody can come! Don’t forget to write it on your calendar then highlight it with a red sharpy!
Hey Everybody!
The Wednesday after vacation will most likely be one of the most important dates after the competition season. This is the day when we annouce next year’s officers!! Also, this year’s leadership has decided to completely reorganize the whole system and restructure the hierarchy. There will be just as many officers, but at the same time a lot more leadership opportunities for YOU!
I will let the suspense build up until wednesday on who is the CHOSEN ONE(s). If you do know, don’t spill the beans, just for fun. So make sure you come because if you don’t you will be missing out on being part of the leaders for next year. If your parents aren’t letting you, just tell them that the leaders have “titles” and that it’s for your own good and that it will get you into a good college (or something like that). Just make sure you come!
All of the forms to attend the competition are due by Wednesday before the competition (march 25th)!!!
You must fill out the: prearranged absence form for IHS and the FIRST conscent form. If you are planning on getting a ride to the competition from another parent, please fill the parent driver form.
Also, respond to this thread if you will be driving people to the competition, or if you will be driven by someone other than your parents. -Hugo
Your hard work has paid off! On Saturday, March 14th, we’ll be going to Redmond High School (17272 NE 104th St, Redmond, WA) to compete in the Seattle Regional for Vex.
If you’re not in our Vex team, I still highly encourage you to come and watch! The most exciting time of the day will be around 2:30-5 if you can only make a few hours.
Vex team, to show our appreciation to Exothermic Robotics, we’ll be staying to help with setup and cleanup. Please try to make this if possible. You can use these hours for volunteer hours if you need it for anything.

Hi guys,

The meeting will take place in Mr.Cooney’s room, number 1808. All parents and team members are invited and are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to attend. We will discuss hotels, what the competition is, what we need from the students and also from the parents in order to go to the competition.
You should all have received a form at the meeting on Wednesday which also includes the agenda of the competition. If you did not receive it, please go to Mr. Cooney and ask him for it.
See you at the meeting! And bring your parents please
