Week of December 11 to December 15

This week, we started taking headshots of our team, and finalizing our safety manuals/quizzes. We also started polishing senior spotlights, injury logs, and the IMPACT Award. Logistics started brainstorming our STEAM Camps and Build finished cleaning. The ele ctrical team also started taking apart Robot-In-A-Box, and dis-assembling previous game pieces. Our biggest accomplishment this week was CLEANING OUT OUR CLOSET!!! We are much more organized than we were before and now we will be better prepared for this season! With a newly organized closet, and updates on safety standards, RipSaw Robotics is set to start for the season!

Our goals this week include:

• uploading headshots
