FIRST Robotics posts are a staple here at Detritus of Empire, at least in the January to March Build and Competition frenzy. Coming off a year of inactivity due to Covid we've had to largely rebuild the team from the ground up. Thank goodness we have a standing policy of promoting promising 8th graders to "the Show" when we encounter them.
We've done more this pre-season than ever before. Lots of new mechanisms tried out, lots of mysterious software doings, lots of just getting to know each other. It looks as if the team will start the campaign at about 28 members. On a recent Thursday evening we had another of our entirely optional sessions. 24 of them showed up to work.
Time for a photo op. We always take a few serious ones then some silly ones. It's not always easy to tell them apart.
Watch for updates, it will be a wild ride starting with kickoff on 8 January.....

I'll be putting comments into "moderator" format for a while. Sometimes they get a bit off topic. I'll post almost all of them even the One Weird Trick Spamsters if they amuse me. I also answer my email at dagmarsuarez@gmail.com
