And The Fun Continues !

We are sorry about such a late posting! Blog Spot hasn't cooperated with us lately.
Anyways! Here is a quick update:
On Wednesday, November 10, 2010, the Transformer's had a meeting with a company willing to meet with them regarding their robot project. J-Tech Computer Repairs has agreed to be the middleman for the biodiesel robot project. "The meeting went very well," accroding to John Leonard, "a bit of an obstacle because they want a deposit before an order while the school wants the product before they make a payment." While the school sorts out the details regarding the product-deposit situation, the Transformers will be creating a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet will consist of 10% work and 90% planning. Otto Irwin stated, "our next step is to the find our parts. This must be done all at once due to the schools demands." Since the guys have such high standards for their robot they are under extreme pressure trying to make this perfect with their budget of one-thousand dollars; two-thirds of which will go to electronic equipment.

Our golf cart team is also making some progress in their attempt to convert a golf cart to solar power. As of right now they are making a model of a solar panel portreying light energy to mechanical energy. The team has talked to Frugal Dougel's Solar Accessories about possibly purchasing a solar panel kit for the golf cart. Most kits specify what type of golf cart it can be used on; but the type of kit the "Golf Cart Girls" are looking at is flexible for any type of golf cart, including our E-2 36V golf cart that our administrators use.

The companies that cooperate with our biodiesel project-teams all know about our limited budget; however, for their cooperation we not only sponser them but we give them publicity! So if you are a green-friendly company reading this blog right now, who would like to help bring some earth-friendly dreams to life in return for some company realted publicity, you should contact Josh Clearman at bio-diesel@keysschools.com. :) Thank you!
