This Sunday, 2/6, we won’t have a regular build meeting. The Pitt Pirates are going to host the other local teams and the Lead Robot Inspector (Mr. Lee Barger) at the shop. Mr. Barger will be going over routine inspection and helping the new teams to clear this hurdle at competition.
This is from 2p – 5p at the shop. We won’t need a large contingent of builders. We’ll need team leaders there the learn about the inspection and assist. Other folks, take the afternoon off and we’ll see you back again on Monday night 2/7.
