The team is still working on selling light bulbs.

Kick off is on Saturday. Everyone should be by the back of the school by Mr. Blersch's room by 7:45 am. We will be leaving at 8 am. Parents are welcome to come to the kickoff.]]>

Real estate values in Vypeen have already doubled within a short period of time since the opening of the Goshree bridges for public traffic. The proximity of these islands to the prominent city centers is a major attraction for the leading builders. Thus, the excitement among the realtors and builders is due to this one main factor.

When considering the cost of Apartments Cochin City’s main centers are now out of bounds for the middle class people. But the apartment units coming up in the Vypeen Island is unlikely to cost higher than those in the prominent city centers. Thus, this area is now much attractive not only for the builders but also for people moving away from the city centers.

The Vallarpadom Container Terminal project has also created much excitement among the people. When this project fructifies, major changes in the Cochin skyline are likely. The demand for housing from the executives and other professionals is likely to increase and when considering the present demand and limited supply, no builder will be in a position to meet the burgeoning demand. Scores of companies are now moving their back office and other operations to Cochin. Thus, the demand for office spaces and residential apartments is likely to go up significantly.

The tourism sector is another area that is witnessing many developments. The demand for hotel rooms during the peak tourist season and even during the off-season has gone up significantly. The demand from this sector will be met only through the creation of more hotel rooms. Plans are now devised to develop Bolghatty Island for tourism purposes by creating more amenities.]]>

The last coffee order should be in on December 20th. Students could come after school to help Mr. Jappinen sort the order. Everyone can pick up their coffee on Wednesday.

Tonight there will be driver practice, machining, and inventor drawing.

We will continue to sell light bulbs through the robot ship date. We need to finish the light bulb display boxes.

Keep voting for Mrs. Vertz at http://www.connectamillionminds.com]]>

Mr. Blersch wants to wrap up the entertainment book sales. Everyone should bring in their money or return unsold books.

Thursday nights we will be meeting to work in the machine shop and start driver training. If you don't spend a lot of time driving you won't be our driver. If you don't go through the safety training you won't work in the machine shop. There is no school October 27th so there will be no meeting that week. Alex should contact Justin Reinders about starting 3D Animation. Mr. Guckenberger said you can use his office and computer again. John and David should start working on a basic robot frame in Inventor. They need a freshman and sophmore to work with them.

Mr. Jappinen handed out sheets for ordering coffee. There will be two orders placed.

We need a volunteer to heop with ink cartridge and cell phone recycling.

We can start selling light bulbs after we are done with entertainment books. We will now be able to sell the 7W = 40Watt/60Watt bulbs and the bulbs that =75watts and dimable bulbs.]]>

We realize that there is a lot of fundraising this time of year but we want to get the fundraising done before the end of December so that we can concentrate on building the robot in January and February.

We will start taking orders for RoboBlend, Stone Creek coffee. The first order will be placed on Nov. 10th. The second order will be placed on Dec 15th. If you have questions about this sale contact Mr. Jappenin. Remember that people can orders for either ground or beans and you should be careful what you mark.

Students have been mentoring VEX teams at both Silver Lake and Nature Hill schools. There are about 70 students at Silver Lake and 30 at Nature Hill. See the events page for competitions that need volunteers.

No student expressed an interest in organizing a team outing so there won't be one. If a student is interested in organizing a team outing they should talk to Mr. Blersch.

Starting October 20, at 3:30 mentors will be in Mr. Blersch's room teaching machining and robot driving. This is the fun part so everyone should try to attend. If students are interested in 3D animation they should talk to teammate Alex Martin.

The team is now registered for the Wisconsin Regional and the Championship. Every active team member will be able to attend the WI Regional with the only expense being for some of the food. We stay over night on Friday night. Not all team members will be able to attend the championship although team members not traveling with the team are still welcome to attend with their parents. There will be a cost for attending the championship. All these events are open to the public and are free to attend. Parents, you should plan on attending. For more information you can go to http://www.usfirst.org click on FRC (First Robotics Competition) at the top of the page.]]>
