Team Updates
After a long five days in Texas, the team reunited once again to have its weekly team meeting. Below is a summary of everything the team talked about in its weekly meeting.
- With the world competition over, the team discussed everything at the event. The captains lead a pros and cons list for the event. Overall Talon is happy with its rank there are always things the team can improve on, but everyone had a great time. The team couldn’t have done so well this season without the help of everyone who put time into the team.
- After discussing worlds, the team then brought the discussion to its next event. The team will be attending a practice event at The Mura Field. The event will take place on Saturday, and it will be a fun way for the team to perfect it’s auto and shooter. The team will be packing the trailer on Friday before that the team will be working on the code. Be sure to signup for the event if you are coming.
- Before our next practice event, the team will also have its daily open rooms. Be sure to attend them as the team still has many things to do. The team will also have its daily open rooms after Saturday. Talon still has a state competition on May 7th.
- Finally, the team discussed the upcoming Crumbl Cookie fundraiser that will be happening tomorrow. Be sure to get your regular-sized cookies during 3-6 pm as that is the requirement for the event.
After discussing important upcoming events the team captains turned the meeting over to their leads. Below is every major update from every sub-team.
