Octoberfest and Novemberbest

October was quiet but fun. We launched pumpkins with our newly-built Trebuchet, in a competition against the Robodogs, team 2085, on Travis Air Force Base for Halloween. It was pretty fun; we were able to launch pumpkins as far as around 130 feet. We've been preparing still for the Vaca High FLL dual competitions. It's going to be a big event, but it will be doable. Today, we are helping the new Buckingham Charter High School robotics team with making a basic robot. This Saturday, we are having a workday. We are doing a chairman's meeting as well as making field mission kits for the dual competitions on November 16th. Our China trip is two weeks away. Some of us will be going to China to present to and mentor VEX teams, which will be fun.
