The text originally populating this page has been moved to the associated discussion (talk) page.

The team set two very aggressive goals for 2011:

  1. Win 1 Regional Event
  2. 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).

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 introduced
CPR Training
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.

CPR Training

Nine students, mentors and parents from Team 1640 received CPR training and 2-year ASHI certification on 18-Dec at the Uwchlan Ambulance Corps.

Outreach

Downingtown Robotics Center Open House

DAR hosted an Open House on the evening of 15-December.

People

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.
