Homecoming Parade

We had a great time at the homecoming parade.  This was the first year we were able to get all of the teams together for it.  The MATE Team did a great job with the mock-up and bubble machine.  Everyone had a blast and the weather was perfect.  Thanks to all the parents and supporters who showed up and cheered for us.  A huge thanks to David Gill for towing the trailer for us!  See you in December at the Christmas Parade of Lights.

Brakes

We broke the brake cable on the main brakes last week.  Thanks to Mr. Cowan, we are now getting those repaired.  Josh and Carter are getting them fixed right now in the lab.

Tuesday work

The team did a great job.  We have several more new members today.  The officers did great at getting them on board. 

Yesterday's Meeting

Yesterday at 9am the team came up to drive the car around and take some data. We found a break in our brake cable that we are fixing right now. We're looking forward to driving in the homecoming parade!
