The FIRST robotics team is starting its 6th season. From crazy, improv beginnings it is growing into a more sophisticated - yet still fun loving - organization. But we've outgrown our childhood home.
From the start we've been meeting and building at one of our sponsors. They've been great and have helped us a lot. And to some extent, we've helped them. They hire our best, be they students or in one case a coach. They are making some of the best CNC equipment on the planet and now need the space that was for five years an outstanding robot building facility.
So time to move. Not just that, we need to toss out lots of old stuff, organize everything and pack it into containers so that somebody can actually find things. For a while now that has been one of my few useful abilities.....I can eventually figure out where anything is hiding. Sometimes I did have to meditate for a day or two.
Here's some of the "stuff" we had to deal with:
Oh and there's more. So very much more.
All the pioneers of robotics signed their names to it. I stay in loose contact with many of them. Then there are the odd little artifacts of obscure import. What the heck was this all about?
