Jackson Area Robotics 2775Jackson Area FIRST Robotics Team

FIRST Team 2775’s 2011 robot has arrived in Knoxville. We shipped one day early, however there is some fine-tuning to be completed. Looking forward to the Smokey Mountain Regional Competition March 31st – April 2nd. This is the first year for the state of Tennessee to host a Regional Competition.

Due to road conditions and the low temperatures, Thursdays meeting will be cancelled. We will try for Friday evening and the regular meeting on Saturday.

JAR will be meeting tonight from 5:00 till 8:00. Traveling will be at the discretion of your parents.

Meeting for Thursday, Jan. 20th is cancelled due to the weather. Stay warm & we will see you Saturday at 9:00 am.

We will meet tonight for those whose parents are comfortable with driving. We will verify our KOP and begin organizing into committees. Please do not try to get out if your roads are not passable. Kick Off was exceptional. I hope each of you have used this time off from school to begin studying the game, rules, and playing field.
