2013 Post-Season Party POSTPONED

May 2, 2013 in Important Notice, Notice, Upcoming Events

This will be great news for many: we have decided to postpone the party until AFTER APs!
This will allow many team members to study for their AP tests, more people to come, and more fun! (And more importantly, more planning!)

We will be having the party on May 20th, 2013! (It’s the Monday after prom!)

Stay tuned for more information!

2013 Post-Season Party Event (UPDATED)

April 29, 2013 in Important Notice, Notice, Upcoming Events

Thank you for your patience! This should be our final major update for the party! (One more update will be sent out regarding the room we will hold the party in.)

Changes from the previous invitation: we have a final date and time of Friday, May 3th, 2013 from 5 to 7 PM. We’ve also updated the potluck dinner details – you no longer need to “reserve” a dish; you are bringing a dish based on grade level. There’s also a fun survey for awards, found here! Finally, we are looking for suggestions for the party, as well as photos – see below!

The following invitation (in this post/email) is condensed. Please read the updated invitation (note this isn’t the same link as before):http://riverhillrobotics.org/Resources/FRC2013/Events/River%20Hill%20Robotics%20Party%20Event%20R3.pdf

Party Postponed to Friday

April 28, 2013 in Important Notice, Notice, Upcoming Events

Whew! I bet this was what you wanted to hear, right?

Tuesday is perhaps a tad bit too rushed… therefore, to allow everyone to come and participate, the party will be postponed to Friday, May 3rd. If you have already filled out the RSVP, and are unable to go at this date, please let me know ASAP.

I apologize for the short notice on everything – you guys definitely need at least a week in advance! (Apologies to Mr. Clark for giving him a panic attack about this party!)

Because of this change, we would like to encourage everyone to come! This includes team members, parents, teachers, mentors, and especially sponsors! AP tests can take a break – everyone needs to stretch their social muscles! ;)

The invitation will be changed once again to reflect a few changes, and will result in another email when it is ready. For now, please RSVP here:

We hope to see you there, this time on Friday!

FRC Championship – Day 3! (The End!) + PARTY

April 27, 2013 in Notice, Upcoming Events

Post-Season Party!

Another reminder, in case you didn’t notice: we’ll be having our 2013 Post-Season Party on Tuesday, April 30th, 2013 from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM in Mr. Clark’s room!

EVERYONE IS INVITED! This includes, but is not limited to, team members, parents, mentors, teachers, and sponsors!

This party is a potluck dinner party, which means everyone will contribute a dish to the party. Dish selections can be specified in the RSVP form, and you will receive final notification of what dish to bring. You MUST RSVP in order to attend!

Please RSVP by Sunday, April 28th, 2013 at the latest!

Here’s our official invitation and RSVP form!

One other thing: the invitation has been revised to be more clear about dress. It is semi-formal – we suggest no jeans for men, and dresses for women. This only applies to team members only – others can dress semi-formally, but it is optional.

Day 3

Congratulations again to the team members at the Championships today! Unfortunately, we lost the final match today, bringing us to a 3-4-1 W-L-T record in the competition. That final loss was very close – we lost by 2 points, 141-143 – just one more frisbee! That makes a total of 10-13-1 W-L-T record overall this season – not bad! (Compared to the not-so-pretty 5-12-1 record from last year, we did exceptionally well!)

If you didn’t get a chance to see how we performed, visit the website below for a record of all of the matches this season:
http://www.thebluealliance.com/team/4067

We’d like to end by thanking our parents, mentors, teachers, helpers, and sponsors again and again for giving us the support we needed this year! It has been a great year, and we look forward to more great years to come!

P.S. – Friendly reminder to please RSVP to the party: http://tinyurl.com/Team4067-2013Party

FRC Championship – Day 2! (And PARTY!)

April 26, 2013 in Notice, Upcoming Events

Post-Season Party!

I know it’s quite sudden, but we’ll be having our 2013 Post-Season Party on Tuesday, April 30th, 2013 from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM in Mr. Clark’s room! (Probably our first, actually!) This year was a GREAT year, and what better to top that off with a celebration?

EVERYONE IS INVITED! This includes, but is not limited to, team members, parents, mentors, teachers, and sponsors!

This party is a potluck dinner party, which means everyone will contribute a dish to the party. Of course, there are potential problems, such as having everyone accidentally bring chips and soda… which would make a rather interesting dinner, right? To prevent that, the RSVP form has a spot for everyone to put what they will bring. On the day before the event (or even earlier, depending on circumstances and your responses), we will send out a list of what people should bring to the party so that we can make sure it’s not a chips-and-soda potluck dinner!

Please RSVP by Sunday, April 28th, 2013 at the latest! We want to make sure this party is a success!

OK, enough talk – here’s our official invitation and RSVP form!

Day 2

Congratulations again to the team members at the Championships today! We gained two wins and two losses today! (One loss was close, but something fell off, as usual, making that last perfect shot impossible. The other, which garnered a 204 points vs 147 points, was due to a 50 point penalty on the alliance, not caused by us.) Nevertheless, we stand at 3-3-1 after 4 matches, ranked 52/100 – not bad for our second day! (We have one more match left!)

Again, for all of your curiosity-feeding needs:
http://www.thebluealliance.com/team/4067
The website includes match records and a link to the live-stream of our division’s matches. We are in the Archimedes Division for the Championship. (We compete in divisions, then if we are ranked high enough, move on to the final rounds.)
We are competing again tomorrow around 8:50 AM CST (9:50 AM EST). Watch our final matche live!

Good luck to the team tomorrow! We can do it! GO HAWKS!

FRC Championship – Day 1!

April 25, 2013 in Notice, Upcoming Events

We got into the FRC Championship!

In case you haven’t heard… we were really lucky enough to get a spot in the FRC Championships! (We got the spot on April 16th, 2013 – last Tuesday. I apologize for the lack of updates! We’ve become disorganized trying to prepare for the trip!)

We would like to extend a sincere thanks (again, as usual) to our grateful sponsors:

  • Sony, who graciously donated a beautiful (and speedy) Sony VAIO Laptop to us, as well as a Sony Bloggie camera and a Sony Action Cam to capture our matches on the field! Their Sony Action Cam, in particular, takes GREAT footage, as seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk3nrjWy1VM&feature=youtu.be
  • jcpenney, who was humble enough to continue our funding, even with cuts from their company!
  • NASA, who continued to provide us funding for this year as a 2nd year veteran team!
  • Kendall Hardware, Inc., a local Clarksville business who provided us with a LOT of resources and perks during the build season!
  • And finally, FIRST, for making such an awesome program to begin with!

Without your support, we wouldn’t have made it to where we are now!

(And as always, if you want to become a new sponsor next year, we’re always open!)

We would also like to extend our thanks to Glenelg High School (Team 888, Robotiators) who lent their workshop for us to use. Without their help, we probably would be having a robot made out of cardboard! We wish that we could drag them along to the Championship with us – yes, THAT’S how much we owe them – but all we can do at the moment is give thanks. So again, thanks Glenelg! We hope to keep working with you in the coming years (and perhaps have something to give back too)!

We also hope to develop more relationships with other Howard County teams, such as Atholton and Wilde Lake… stay tuned!

Day 1

Congratulations to the team members at the Championships today! We tied one, lost one, and then came back with a win! We stand at 1-1-1 after 3 matches, ranked 50/100 – not bad for our first day! (5 more matches left!)

I wish I was there… but as usual, there’s always the Internet!
For all of your curiosity-feeding needs:
http://www.thebluealliance.com/team/4067
The website includes match records and a link to the live-stream of our division’s matches. We are in the Archimedes Division for the Championship. (We compete in divisions, then if we are ranked high enough, move on to the final rounds.)
We are competing again tomorrow around 11 AM, 1:30 PM, and 2:30 PM. Watch our matches live!

Good luck to the team tomorrow! We can do it! GO HAWKS!
