UPDATE- SITUATION IS RESOLVED
We have 1 parent volunteer who will drive 1 van, while Coach Klug will drive the 2nd van.
We also have another parent volunteer who will take our trailer with their ow truck.

So we are all set. Thank you all

Due to unforeseen circumstances which caused our planned driver to have to drop our, we are in dire need of parents volunteer to help drive us to Alabama to the competition.

We need 2 (two) drivers

Either 2 (two) parents to drive the 2 vans OR 1 (one) to drive 1(one) van and 1(one) to pull a trailer (fully insured) with their own personal vehicle

Without this, we may not be able to go

If we only get 1, we will have to go without a "Pit" (Material contained on the trailer), which means we will be extremely limited as to what we can fit and pack with us (No signs, no toolboxes bigger than a handheld, limited spare parts, etc)

A more detailed itinerary will be provided the week of departure

Tue. March 11: Everyone stays for the ACT DAY

Wed. March 12: depart from LNHS at 7:00 am - Travel to Alabama - to Huntsville

Thu. March 13: Qualification matches

Fri. March 14: Qualifications matches

Sat. March 15: Playoffs and Awards

Sun. March 16: Travel Back to Missouri -to LNHS

• The Liberty Robotics Foundation is still looking to fill a vacancy on their board (Vice-President).

This would be perfect for a parent of a Freshmen or Sophomore looking to be more involved with the Robotics programs all around Liberty

Feel free to ask Kim Steiger more details if you have any question, as she has served on the board for several years.

Help us document our team progress and the process of building the robot.

The Team is yours, the Drive is yours.
