- Approved without comments.
Financial Report (Faith)
- The team has adequate funds for build season. A Boeing grant paid for registration and two MAR qualifying events. We've been awarded a UTC grant, which will cover Philadelphia (but have not received the funds yet).
Space Update
- We are in Creamery Way for Build Season. Clem is putting together a physical proposal for a move into the STEM Academy. Still trying to gauge CCIU interest level.
- Working on Security Clearances; Clem to send email with further clarification. We are still working under the terms of the proposed agreement 1640 sent to STEM (not formally executed).
- If FRC 1640 goes to STEM, who goes? VEX indicated that it is not planning to go to STEM.
Web Update
- Everything appears to be working now!
- We need to change the link on the navigation bar from Dewbot VII to Dewbot VIII (Schucker).
- We also need a web (wiki) training session for new mentors and students (Schucker - McKown to schedule).
Preparation for FRC Build Season
- Mill needs to move into Creamery Way. The issue is that we either need a forklift at Creamery Way or we need to move the Mill in a truck with a bed height matching the loading dock's (4 ft).
