Asks:

Time is getting tight for us to secure our hotel for the FIRST Championship in Houston Texas. KnightKrawler needs help calling hotels and asking for information and quotes. If you know anything about the area or can donate time to the team, please message @Ben Johnson on Slack or email [email protected] with the subject line, “Hotels.” Any help we can get with this would be amazing and helps ensure our travel can be equitable for our students!

SoftLake Solutions is a data analysis company, and their commitment to finding creative solutions and guiding clients through times of stress and times of prosperity inspires us at KnightKrawler to follow our values, including innovation and unflappability.

Kudos:

This week’s kudos go to both of our turtle TEST teams for buckling down and getting their robots done in time for the competition. We’re so proud of all your hard work, and can’t wait to see how you implement the skills you learned in the upcoming build season!

That’s our update for this week, thanks to everyone who helps our team come together and accomplish our goals. Let me hear you holler, KnightKrawler!
