What's left before the big meet

Hi,

Believe it or not, there are only two weeks before the FLL competition. That means we have a lot of work to do with not many meeting times left.

We originally wanted to do the scrimmage, but Seth is sick -- I still expect him at today's meeting,  but he needs to rest Saturday -- and the Kuhlers are unable to make it. So, I think we will have to skip the scrimmage and instead shoot for additional meetings.

Here is a tentative remaining schedule. Blue means optional:
Nov. 8 (fri): 5:30-8:00 meeting
Nov. 9 (sat): 10:00-12:00 meeting 
Nov. 10 (sun): 3:30-5:30 meeting 
Nov. 11 (mon): Morning or afternoon bonus holiday meeting? Either is fine.  Whatever the group wants.so no conflicts?
Nov. 11 (mon): 5:30-7:30 meeting
Nov. 15 (fri): 5:30-8:00 meeting
Nov. 16 (sat): 10-12 meeting
Nov. 16 (sat):  4-6 bonus meeting?
Nov. 17 (sun): 3:30-5:30 meeting
Nov. 22 (fri): 5:30-7:30 meeting
Nov. 23 (sat): all day COMPETITION

In the remaining time, here are some of the things we need to complete as a team:

1.       Robot challenge
a.       Test runs
b.      Compile programs
c.       Move code to laptop (1 main and 1 backup)
d.      Print programming code
2.       Rehearse the skit

3.       Finish prezi

4.       Confirm everyone knows core values
5.       Finalize quad copter
6.       Tri-fold or newspaper?
7.       How about a brochure to hand judges?
a.       Include some research material
b.      Include mentors
8.       Open/print out the blog
9.       Practice questions
