While the build team is busy building a bot, our business team is busy building other kinds of projects.

Almost always a dilemma......how much does the robot weigh?  Early on, we already started counting ounces.

 The build season last from kick-off day, January 4th, to stop build day, February 18th.

Six weeks of cutting, crafting, wiring, and programming the robot.  It is the shortest and longest six weeks of the year.

This year the challenge involves throwing a 24" diameter exercise ball through a goal.  It is helpful to have a goal to practice shooting through.
