FIRSTers:

Your robot is important. You are more important. So: •wear safety glasses •keep your shoes tied •tuck the sweatshirt strings in to your sweatshirt •stick together •take deep breaths •drink water (preferably not near the robot) •keep your hair tied back That’s all, have a safe 2015 season!

WIP of one of our posters for our tournament, based on a cheer for our sports teams at school. Decided to include a picture of Stan Lee instead of our former school president, because A. they look like each other, and B. Stan Lee.
