This summer the team will be meeting every Wednesday night as set by our ambitious goals at the end of the season. Of course there will be a multitude of other events to attend in addition to weekly meetings. At the beginning of July, we are going to invite the new members from our callout this spring to join us for summer meetings in anticipation of bringing them to IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational an off-season competition).
I’m excited about the potential that the team offers for the upcoming year in both student and mentor capacities. I’m hoping that this year’s leaders step into their roles quickly so that I can focus less on daily operations and more on long term planning (Hopefully transitioning into working on items more directly related to improving Purdue First Programs).
Congratulations to the following students who have joined the invasion this summer!
- Namita Balachander

- Sang Rhee

- Albert Li

What could be handsomer? What could be sweeter?
Its rhymes are in couplets; it follows a meter.
Shiny as stainless and spiffy as chrome,
It’s the Four-Sixty-One introductory poem!
As self-referential as Senator Dole,
This poem has a particular role:
To lift, to disperse, and to unveil the fog
Surrounding the prospects of keeping a blog…!
Four-Sixty-One kids in all of their glory
Will update you folks on the everyday story
Of building and keeping our FRC team
Plus history, bios, and art well-esteemed.
Need your Purdue fix? Do prospects look bleak?
Not to fear! We will update at least once a week
(Of course we need intervals well within reason
‘Cause you know we’ll forget once or twice in build season!)
This is 461′s Secretary-Treasurer ’09-’10 announcing a student- and mentor-updated blog for Westside Boiler Invasion. No, seriously. Updated. Frequently.
Wind River, the supplier of the C++ Development System used in FRC (Wind River Workbench),will soon be purchased by Intel for $884 million dollars, despite hefty fines by the EU. The acquisition of Wind River could possibly lead to Intel’s expansion in the embedded systems market, for which Wind River provides software and services.
