Hey all this is Lexi, your KnightKrawler team Captain here with the weekly update for October 30, 2022.
Meetings and Events:
Heads up for the week ahead we have no meeting Monday, October 31, (Happy Halloween!) and a meeting from 6 pm to 8 pm on Wednesday, November 2. Remember that after the meeting on Wednesday, there are only 8 weekly meetings left before Turtle TEST competitions! On November 12th KnightKrawler and many other FRC teams will be presenting on topics from pneumatics, LEDs, HTML, and electronics to social media and strategy at a free conference called Jumpstart. If you’re interested in attending this event at Medtronic Headquarters, use this link to register as an individual, without an abstract. Our final Rapid React offseason competition (Minne Mini aka MMR) will be held on November 19th at Prior Lake Highschool in Savage MN, keep an eye out for more details as we get close to that day!
Reminders:
Update! The online apparel store is active, and the deadline has been extended to November 6th! This is our last call for the annual sale, so if you were thinking about checking it out, this is your last chance. Click here to access it! If you have any questions, slack or email Jennifer Kyhl.
Students, remember to fill out the poll in #announcements on Slack about lunches for Minne Mini by the end of the week! Make sure you have joined your TEST team’s channel on Slack, and either #build or #controls. You can add new channels by using the “browse channels” feature!
Parents and Volunteers remember to consider joining us at Prior Lake High School for Minne Mini! It’s a great way to see what later regionals will be like, and get a sense of what Robotics spirit really looks like! Also, discuss with your student about what they would like to do for lunch at Minne Mini, having this discussion ahead of the day of the competition helps us avoid a lot of miscommunications.
Asks:
KnightKrawler is selling one of our professional-grade media cameras. It’s a 6D markii Canon full frame digital SLR, and 24-105mm full frame silver ring Canon Lens with 2 canon batteries and charger in a hard storage case. We are asking $1500, and please reach out to us on Slack if you are interested in purchasing it!
Sponsor shout-out:
Our generous sponsors support KnightKrawler. This week we’re highlighting QONQR! QONQR is a game created and run by our very own mentor Scott Davis and centers on the digital capture of 3 million real places based on factions surrounding the novel and possibly dangerous AI called QONQR. Thanks for sponsoring KnightKrawler QONQR! If you, someone you know, or your employer is interested in sponsoring KnightKrawler, reach out to Steve Pesklo by emailing him using info@team2052.com.
Kudos:
This week’s kudos go to Kevin, Nicole, Caleb F, Colton, and Ken & his family for helping KnightKrawler attend Irondale’s Trunk or Treat. Events like these are not only super fun, but they help build community awareness for KnightKrawler. Thanks, everyone!
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!
