Milestones
3 planned deliverables · 0 complete
Our science teacher ran a robotics lunch club last year with borrowed parts and it filled up in a week. The students want to compete, and the regional league runs three events a season within driving distance. This request covers what a new team needs for its first season: the robot kit, spare parts, a practice field to run on, a laptop for programming, and the league entry and travel.
