The team set two very aggressive goals for 2011:

- Attend Championship event in St. Louis 27-30 April, 2011.

Events
Baltimore Area Alliance FRC Workshop
- 6-November-2010. Very helpful and educational. Our thanks to the BAA for their gracious invitation. (6) attended from 1640.
Move into Downingtown Robotics Center
- In November, Downingtown Area Robotics moved from the Micken Building into a 17 K ft2 warehouse at 320 Boot Road, Downingtown. This is a great space for robotics, allowing a full-scale practice field. Alas, no sense of permanence. Our 6th home (and by-far very best to-date).

Power tool alley
Storage closet
Practice Kick-off
- Team 1640 conducted a Practice Kick-off on 11 & 12-December 2010 in preparation of the real deal. A formal Design Process was introdoced and tested during this exercise. 2006 Aim High game rules were employed for the robot basis, with the exception of the control system, which utilized 2010 standards.
- Game simulation using students as robots proved very effective and provided very good insights into the game play and requirements for winning matches.
- As always, the most difficult part of strategic decision making was in deciding which options not to pursue. Need to work on this.
Outreach
Downingtown Robotics Center Open House
- DAR hosted an Open House on the evening of 15-December.

Team Sab-BOT-age is what it is only due to the efforts of the people involved. DEWBOT VII's success will be in the hands of the students, mentors and parents engaged. The team's very existance is possible only through the gracious generosity of our sponsors.
