Girl Power

We will not have adequate girl students available to compete in Girl power.

In addition, Girl Power conflicts with our committment to the Franklin Institute Demonstration.

We will not participate in Girl Power.

Fund Raising

Arkema has donated $2,000 (plus $1,000 to FLL).

A Presentation will be made to FIATECH during their annual meeting on 5-Oct at the Sofitel, Philadelphia.

We've got a Franklin Institute demonstration on 9-Oct.

What do we offer to sponsors?

• Space on Trailer
• Page in Sponsor Book
• Space on Robot
• Space on Competition Banner
• Name in Team Name
• Space on T-Shirt
• Space in Robot Handouts at community events, demonstrations & competitions

Would we change our Team name (from Sab-BOT-age) for a major sponsor? Not a popular option. A sponsor would need to commit to covering a large portion of team expenses for a long term (maybe 3 years).

Iwona made faces at the 1640 screwdriver logo (too complicated - difficult to identify - light lines - breaks a lot of logo rules). VexMen logo is better.

Best Buy meeting needs to be rescheduled. They are getting cold feet about an event. This really needs an empty store nearby to succeed.
