Hah, I bet you didn't expect a robotics post after the season ended!
The team advisor, who is leaving and therefore will not be around to advise us next year, called an out-of-season meeting of both the school's robotics teams to create a list of items we want to order for next year. Since we had a few hundred dollars left over from last year's budget, we thought it was a good idea to use it up before it's reallocated. Financial planning!
After some discussion from both teams and some Excel number-crunching by me, we compiled a list of 18 item types to order, leaving us about five dollars extra. The order includes safety glasses, a protoboard, a new drill, more metal channels, ten more motors, and quite a bit of miscellaneous other important tools and building stuff.
This meeting also invited people who want to be on the team next year. Two new people arrived, one of whom just joined my class this semester.
