After arriving in St. Louis, the pit crew headed straight for the dome. They were able to get everything assembled and have 6 hours this morning to work out some minor issues and get inspected.
The rest of the team checked into the hotel drove into St. Louis. Unfortunately the workshop we wanted to attend was at capacity so we ended up watching the opening ceremonies for FLL (FIRST Lego League). It's great to see the young ones being excited and having fun.
Late dinner at Steak "N Shake and lights out.
I'll try to put an update later this morning.

The Night (well the morning) Before The Championship
Up early preparing for our flight to St. Louis. We took our tools, spare parts, and improved shooter up to SPAM in Stuart yesterday. They are making the trip via charter bus and graciously offered to transport our things.
We get in St. Louis at 3:30PM. Mr. Cosme, Joel, Josh, Cory and Daniel will immediately head to the Dome and begin putting Sonny together. They'll also have Thursday morning to get it ready.
Qualifying matches start Thursday afternoon at 1PM. FIRST has released a preliminary match list which you can find here. When the page loads, search for "1251". Use the match number as a reference to determine if the field is on schedule. Remember, this is a preliminary list, it could change. I will post a follow-up to confirm this is good. If it does change, I will send the new one.
The webcast can be found here. Click on the "Newton" field icon to watch the action. The links aren't live yet and the names will appear when they do go live.
I will give a recap of the days events each evening so check back then.
Wish us luck!

Back again
As you can see, my last post was during week 3 of build season i.e. Saturday, 1/26. Well, fast forward 12 weeks and here we are! It feels like I got caught in a time warp.
Much has happened - here's a recap.
We finished the robot (sort of), competed in Orlando (sort of), and came limping home. I won't dwell on our performance in Central Florida but suffice it to say we had our issues.
Not to be deterred, everyone went to work and got ready for our hometown competition the weekend of 3/29 & 3/30. With an improved machine and renewed spirit, we held our own and managed to get picked by the first seeded alliance. As a result, we are on our way to St. Louis as winners of the South Florida Regional.
Needless to say it's been a hectic 3 weeks since. The team is working long hours to make Sonny (more on that later) even better, planning for the trip is a full time job, and raising additional $$ to help offset costs is ongoing. BTW, if you would like to contribute to the cause, please contact me. No amount is too small.
As you can see above, I referred to the robot as "Sonny". It is with great sadness that I must report that Salvatore "Sonny" Fazio, founder of our sponsor Sonny's Enterprises, Inc. lost his battle with cancer on Wednesday of this past week. I can't put into words what he and the team at Sonny's has meant to us. But beyond that, he was unselfish, giving, caring and just a great guy. Please click here to read a short memorial about Mr. Fazio. In his honor, we will name the robot "Sonny".
We fly out Wednesday, 4/24 for St. Louis with 15 students and 3 chaperones. It will be a busy 4 days, but that's all that's left.
Here's a link to the Championship website. If you scroll down and click on "Watch Live" it will take you to the webcast page. You will be able to click on one of the FRC field icons when they are live. At that point the field names will change to "Newton" (our field), Curie, Archimedes, and Galileo.
That's it for now. Have to get back to planning for the trip. Will write more soon.
Enjoy the pics.

Week 3 recap
Hello all.
Well here it is the end of week 3. It always seems to slow down at this point in the season but there really is alot going on.
- Our hotel reservations for Orlando are confirmed. We're staying at the Crestwood Suites on University Dr. - about 10 minutes from the venue. I have a few extra rooms both doubles and Queens. If there are any parents that would like to stay with us let me know day(s) and room type.
-Speaking of Orlando, dates of the regional are Thursday, 3/7 - Saturday, 3/9. We'll leave at 12:30PM on Wednesday, 3/6 and return on Saturday, 3/9 around 9PM.
- We will participating in a robot demonstration on Saturday, 2/16 in Weston as part of a Boy Scout Camporee. I will send out details as they become available.
- The Coconut Creek Butterfly and Business Expo is on Saturday, 2/23 and barring a rain out (as in the pas we'll be at that as well.
Last Tuesday, students from Team 4592, McArthur High School, came up for help with their control system. I would like to recognize Joel Cosme and his father, Enrique for spending several hours working with them getting everything setup so they could have a functioning robot. They also shared their strategy and robot design. David Guzman gave them some helpful tips on the mechanical side. Finally, we will be working with them towards their goal of winning the Rookie All-Star award.

Week 1 recap
The first week of the 2013 build season is but a fading memory. Much was accomplished - here's what happened:
- Our game strategy is set
- Frisbee shooter design has evolved but looks solid now
- Floor collection method looks good
- The general design of the robot is set and the CADing process has commenced
- Field goals and human loading station are assembled
- Gearboxes are being assembled and broken in
The highlight of the week was the presentation of a check to TechTiger Robotics for $3500. This was a grant awarded to us by The Dart Foundation which is the philanthropic arm of The Dart Container Corp. Ms. Alicia Pascua delivered the good news personally.
Great job by everyone working hard and contributing to the effort.
I'll post an update the middle of this coming week.

'Twas the Night Before Kickoff
That's right - it's finally here!
The Kit of Parts are in South Florida for the 22 teams that will be attending kickoff tomorrow. There are 5 rookie teams joining us this year.
TechTigers are meeting at Sonny's and, as in the past, after viewing the unveiling of the game challenge, the team will be broken into groups to discuss first thoughts and possible game strategy.
Stay tuned as I will keep everyone up to date on our progress over the next 6 weeks.
A conversation I overheard:
Mentor to student: "You have fun when you win don't you?"
Students' response: "Yes"
Mentor: "Then let's go have some fun!"
Ok, TechTigers, let's go have some FUN!

Merry Christmas!
I hope this finds everyone in the TechTiger family enjoying this special day.
I'm sitting here playing around with a few of the gadgets Santa brought me i.e a nice pair of headphones, a new 19" monitor, a reading magnifier (I know I'm getting old), running shorts, a couple of good books, and a "peas" hot/cold pack for those running aches/pains.
As you know, we had to cancel robotics last Thursday. I found out that morning that to make room for my new furniture (to be installed this Thursday) we would need to take down the computers and dismantle the existing furniture.
Also, since that part of the rooms floor needed to be cleaned, the custodial crew stripped and waxed it that evening. To top if off, the walls were painted as well.
Kickoff is right around the corner. The team will be gathering at Sonny's on the 5th to view the webcast and the the new game challenge. Watch for an email with details and we will need you to RSVP with how many are coming.
Great news - we did receive a $3,500 grant from The Dart Foundation. A representative from the company will be at school on Wednesday, 1/9/13, 3PM to present the check to us. Watch for pictures.
Our Annual Family Bowling event was a huge success. Through the generosity of everyone that attended, we were able to donate two BIG boxes of toys to 4KIDS of South Florida. Many less fortunate children will have a brighter Christmas because of you. And we raised $1,100.00 for robotics!
Last but not least, please remember our troops that serve to protect us and are unable to celebrate this special time with their family and loved ones. Their sacrifice allows us to enjoy the freedoms and liberties we take so much for granted.

Short Recap
Good morning!
TechTiger Robotics was well represented at the Lego League event yesterday at Crystal Lake Middle School. In addition to providing support, they wow'd the crowd with the Rebound Rumble robots.
Kickoff is less than 3 weeks away. Sonny's will be hosting the event at their facility in Tamarac. Lunch will be served after the webcast followed by a brainstorming session. Please RSVP if you will be there and a count of how many people you're bringing.
The South Florida FRC Regional needs volunteers. If you're interested or know someone who might be, please contact me for more information. It will be held on Thursday - Saturday, 3/28/13 - 3/30/13 at the Broward County Convention Center. Not only do you get to see the event up close and personal but they feed you pretty good too!

Let's Go Bowling!
Our 2nd Annual Holiday Bowling Fundraiser is in the books.
TechTiger supporters far and wide gathered at Margate Brunswick Lanes yesterday (Sunday, 12/9/12) and bowled, ate pizza, drank their favorite beverage (anyone have an O'Douls?!?) and generally had a great time.
Through the generosity of our fans, we filled two large boxes with new toys that will be presented to the 4Kids Foster Program and used to brighten a childs holiday season. A HUGE thank you to everyone that participated.
Of course a TechTiger event is not complete without a demo. Attendees were wowed as our 2 Rebound Rumble robots drove around and shot basketballs into the crowd. I think some of the adults were as amazed as the young ones.
Finally, a special thank you to Ms. Patricia Rogers, Mrs. Karla Coto and Mrs. Lucy Faires for their help and support. Without them, events like this would not be possible.
20 days until kickoff!

Moving Right Along
Greetings,
It occurred to me the other day that this is the 10th Year Anniversery for TechTiger Robotics - WOW!
So, what I've decided to do is over the course of this season is take a look back at the history of the program since it's humble beginnings in 2003/2004.
You can look forward to some pictures, quotes, and maybe some video. I promise to make it fun!
Back to the present - Bowling this weekend at Margate Lanes. We'll be raffling off a tablet, a Nook and some other neat things. Three hours of bowling, shoes, 1 large pizza and pitcher of soda per lane all for $10. Sell those tickets.
Crystal Lake Middle School is hosting a Lego League Qualifier on Saturday, 12/15, 8AM - 4PM. If you want to volunteer, see Isabel. We'll be there with 2 maybe 3 robots to demo.
Resolution 5K on Saturday, 12/29, 7AM start at Birch State Park in Ft. Lauderdale. Can you run faster than E-Man?!?
The much anticipated FRC kick-off is Saturday, 1/5/13, 9AM -2:30PM at Sonny's in Tamarac. We'll watch the webcast and do some first-thought brainstorming.
Sonny's has graciously donated 1,632 cans of Amor All Tire Foam for us to sell as a fundraiser. This is pure profit to us so let's get out there and shine up some tires!
That's it for now - a few pics...

The Home Stretch
Yep, it's been awhile. My apologies. Here's the update:
Operations have moved to The Schlinkman's garage for the final push. Many thanks to Jodi for allowing us to take over for the next 3 days.
Gearboxes are mounted, chain is on, and the wheels are spinning.
Wedge Top has been attached to the wheels.
Electronics are in the process of being mounted.
Robot has been painted. Thank you Premier Auto Body of Pompano Beach via Howard Adkin.
First and second stage of the elevator are installed and rolling quite nicely.
A few parts are still being machined for the end effector (read claw) and that should be ready to go by the end of today (Saturday, 2/19).
The crate is painted and ready to go. Nice job Renata, Taylor and everyone that helped with that.
Progress has been made on the Mini-bot and development continues.
Our Autodesk Animation entry has been submitted. Taylor and Radhi worked hard to get that in.
FedEx has been called for pickup on Tuesday.
Alex (Elder) and Jake couldn't agree on who was going to sleep on the new futon. The world has gone mad!
More to come!
