MEETINGS EVERYDAY AFTERSCHOOL DURING BUILD SEASON IN ROOM C201.
END OF WEEK 5
FEBRUARY 12TH, 2011
Updating the website has been hard work for the Midnight Mechanics, as our most experienced (and the creator of this website, years ago) graduated. We Class of 2012 kids have had to learn to work the website in under 6 weeks. It's manageable, though. But enough of our ranting. Today we went to our mentor's, Mr. Rupert's, house for a BUILD PARTY. Yup, we're so dedicated and nerdy that we call working on the robot a party. With ship day and the submissions deadline creeping up on us, you can be sure that our MIDNIGHT Mechanics will be staying up to and past MIDNIGHT to get our projects done.
