The Competition Is Coming Up!!!

         The competition is on December 14, which means that we are still surging!!! We have so much to do in so little time!  (many apologies for not posting in a while; we are just so busy preparing for competition!)
         On Thursday we are scheduled to meet with the CEO of Aeros, a company designing hybrid airships (our solution).
         We have decided who will run the robot in our robot matches at competition:
Essie and Sierra,
Zake and Zulu,
PJ and Beej, and
Hazel and Flybird.

SURGE!!!!

          IT'S SURGE WEEK (if you didn't figure that out already).  This means we meet every night, except for a few choice nights, for the next two weeks until the competition.  How exciting!!!! 
         On another note,  yesterday we worked on the spreadsheet (it's almost done!) and replied to Mr. R, an expert that we were corresponding with.  We also worked on Mission 3, and perfected our gyro sensor within that mission.
          On yet another note, today we Skyped with another FLL team who also are researching hybrid airships.  We shared what we learned with one another.  It was a great experience.

Us Skyping with our fellow FLLers :)
