Wait. What just happened?

It is official.  Week two of build season has concluded.  It is amazing to see how far we have come.  There has not been a time that I've been on the team where we have had a running prototype by the end of week two.  Let alone a built AND PAINTED competition chassis.  The blending of Team Paragon and the Technowizards has been a blessing to say the least.  Now all we can hope for is a build season full of continued efficiency.  Through the past week, everyone has been working hard to keep the season moving forward, despite days lost due to snow.  Mechanical fabricated an entire working prototype, and came up with a very effective arm and grabbing mechanism.  Electrical wired the prototype (again) and kept working on batteries and whatnot, waiting for the envelope to build the electropneumaquarium.  Programming has kept the learning process moving strong, and made it so the team can drive our new mechanum wheels for practice with the prototype.  Admin has kept up it's work, sorting out financial business, working on the handbook as well as the pit book, and many other wonderful jobs that keep the team running.  Don't forget to check our ever-growing website at team-paragon.org!  And we must keep in mind that none of this could be done without our incredibly hard-working and always-patient mentors!  Let's keep it up Team Paragon!! :)
