Week 1

Why hello readers,


So the 2012 FRC season has begun, and it seems like just yesterday we're were sitting at kick-off eager to find out the new game, but no week one is over and it's time to start our weekly blog updates. This week we took our new members through the first couple steps of the engineering design process. We set goals, organized a strategy for the game, and started brainstorming robot designs. After a long week of talking things through and prototyping with cardboard and vex, we are ready to move from talking in the living room to building in the workshop.

Hey everyone, what's up?

Before I start posting about this year's build season and our progress on Rebound Rumble I thought it would be a good idea if I told you a little bit about the team and about myself. Hi, I'm Kori. I'm a fourth year member of The Lady Cans, starting in 2009; the team's rookie year. I'll be running this whole shindig! I apologize in advance for any mistakes, I'm new to this.

On to the team!

Now for a brief and speedy history of FRC Team #2881 We are an all girl, Girl Scout sponsored team from Austin, TX. Our rookie year was 2009, that year we were a team of 7 slightly confused, very passionate girls. In the four years since Lunacy our small, dedicated team has grown to 20 girls ranging from sixth grade to our first class of seniors.
