Infinite Recharge #13: Day 60-65

Hello Everyone! It has been a full week for our team. Firstly we wanted to give a HUGE thank you to all of our mentors for their time this past week, involving both adding an extending meetings so that we could ensure our robot would be competition ready.

This week, the Business team has been preparing for Arizona, practicing the Chairman’s presentation and printing out resources. Media has nearly finished the technical binder and the Chairman’s video is close to being completed.

On the robot, this meeting-filled week consisted of a few weight reduction measures, small robot tweaks, changes, and repairs, and A LOT of testing. This was a very successful robot week, and today members began packing our trailer for the Arizona North Regional. Unfortunately, today our team received some news, including that the Arizona North Regional has been canceled due to public safety concerns with regards to COVID-19. While this was a message we were hoping not to hear, we are very grateful for our mentors and regional director for working so hard to help get us into another event this week. We will provide updates to our competition status as they become available. Additionally, it was also released today that the Silicon Valley Regional is also being postponed due to COVID-19. As of now, the Monterey Bay Regional will proceed as previously planned. For the most up to date status on competitions during this time, check out this post on Chief Delphi.

We hope to post again very soon with good news about attending a competition this week
