Welcome Zebracorns!

This is the start of the preseason! Meetings this week will cover Partner Relations and introduce Mechanical Concepts (Tues) and begin individual subteam meetings (Thurs). You do not need to have decided for sure which subteam you want to work with this season. Take this time to explore and try different things. The meeting Tuesday will be recorded, but we recommend that everyone (returning students too) come! The lab is open from 5:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday, with additional time from 8:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. for specific projects. Preseason hour tracking has started, so make sure to come to meetings! 

Preseason Survey!
Welcome to the team! Please fill out this survey (new and returning members, as some information has changed) at http://zebracorn.link/preseason2018 to help us get to know you!  Deadline for responses is September 30th.

Doyenne Robotics Event!
The Zebracorns will be attending Doyenne, the all girls robotics event this year! Although only females will be allowed to drive or work on the robot, we will still be bringing as many male members as possible to cheer on our team and others! Regardless of gender or availability, please fill out the survey at http://zebracorn.link/zebragirls2018 to let us know if you can attend.  Deadline for survey is September 10th at midnight.

Doyenne Event Schedule!
We'll depart NCSSM at 7:00AM from Bryan Lobby.  The event will end around 5:00pm and we will be back on campus before 6:00pm.  The event is at Green Hope High School in Cary.  We will arrange for lunch for those attending.

Bring a Barcode or RFID Tag! 
Make sure you bring a barcode or an RFID tag (Key fob for NCSSM students) to your meeting to get signed up in the hours system. If you do not have one, we can't track hours, so be sure to bring something! 

Signing up for Slack! 
If you came to an interest meeting, you should have received a link to sign up for Slack, the main communication method of the Zebracorns. For handy instructions on how to register and get started with Slack, please visit http://zebracorn.link/slack! If you did not get an invite, please email mentors@team900.org.

Required Forms! 
Every team member must submit forms that are signed by parents in order to use tools in the lab. These can be found in the team handbook, so please make sure to turn them in! NCSSM students, over this extended weekend is a great time to do this! 
 

Missed a Meeting?

That's fine! Make sure to read the handbook and come to our regular team meetings! You can view the recordings of our previous meetings by the pinned links in the #general channel in the team's slack. And don't worry, you'll catch on quickly. 

As always, if you have any questions, please send an email to mentors@team900.org.

What can I do now?!?!

All team members are required to read the team handbook so if you just can't wait to get started then that is your first stop.  

Questions

Check the team handbook, or email mentors@team900.org.
