How often do you meet?In our off season we usually meet on Mondays and Thursday from 3:30-5:30 P.M. While during the build season (roughly January - April), we meet Tuesdays, Wedesdays, and Fridays from 2:30 - 6:30 P.M. and Saturdays from 9 A.M. - 4 P.M. You could come any day for any time, however, we only have roughly 8 weeks to design, build, and raise enough money to compete with our robot in FIRST competitions.
-
How long is the season?Build season lasts for 8 weeks. However we do a lot of events before build begins and even after we send off the robot, we continue meeting regularly for test driving, travel plans, and miscellaneous changes. From this, FIRST competitions are scattered throughout late Spring until the Championship!

Where do we usually meet?Off-season, we usually use the Robotics room on the 4th Floor-- Room 403. During build season, we meet at the KC STEM Alliance 4825 Troost Ave, Suite 108 Kansas City, MO 64110
