This season, we continued our “Broncobots Blast” outreach and created a team video about FIRST and our involvement in the program. This year’s 15 minute video will again be airing on the Lee’s Summit government channel starting this weekend. It features interviews with team members, behind-the-scene looks at robot building, and FIRST information and benefits.

Set your recorders for the following air times over the next two weeks:
Saturdays at 2:00 pm
Sundays at 4:00 pm
Tuesdays 8:00 pm

OMG!!

As most of you know, the 3 schools have been working together to write weekly articles for the Lee’s Summit Journal. Jennie wrote the first article on FIRST, Joe wrote the second article on technical aspects of the program, and I wrote this weeks article on non-technical aspects of FIRST teams. Here it is! Sorry for the weird scanning, my dad did it.

Also, here is a video of Jake being hit with a ball from the robot! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkOKauIpx5U
