The past two months, I kept this community on moderated status only because it served as a temporary website for our team. Now that the website is up (it's very cool - and amazingly put together in only a few days - Check it out here), we can make this community a real blogging site. (The userinfo page will be changed to reflect this.)

Everyone now has posting access. (Although I will still be updating with information that will get put up on the website.)

Rules - very straightforward:
1) Keep everything U.S. FIRST, robotics, or MORTORQ related.
2) Keep things civil.
3) Try to use proper English. (Just a personal pet peeve.)
4) If you post large photos or long posts, be sure to place them under an LJ-cut.

Suggestions for posts:
It's always useful for us to keep better records, especially of the six-week building period. When you have time, please post up memories, lessons that you learned about teamwork or fun experiences that you have had in robotics, so that we can benefit from that information in future years. Feel free to post up pictures of MORTORQ that you might have.

Questions can go to vondutchboy21, our new mod, or me, polykleitos.

The robot was shipped around 3 p.m. on February 22, 2005. Pictures were taken, as well as video footage of team members running after the Fed Ex van. To come.

To be added.
