Welcome to the Herndon High School / NASA Headquarters FIRST competition 1999 team website. This site is the repository of much of the HHS/NASA HQ team information. As the competition progresses, and we begin to build, much more information should become available.

Our next meeting will be held tomorrow (the 5th of April) at 19:00 in the shop. This meeting is mandatory! No exceptions. Important information concerning transportation to and from Florida can be found here (Thanks be Mrs. Murtland).

Philly has come a gone (much like our sanity). After 3 days of chaos, we came in as the 15th seeded team (3rd highest ranked rookie team, and a major come back from a low of 52nd). Do to gas leaks and inclement weather, our scrimmage with the two Maryland teams has been called off (good luck to you guys). Florida, here we come!!!

Tuesday, 9/03/1999 [00:30]
We are a few days away from Philly, and ready to ride. Mrs. Gazda and Mr. Tripp are collecting the permission forms.
Our invasionary and scout forces leaves Wednesday at 7 PM from the back of the high school followed by the full armada leaving at 5:30 AM on Saturday. Our extended scouting mission will lend itself nicely to the proposed beachhead, with full ground and air superiority schedules for early Saturday morning. All ammunitions and other supply are ready and will follow shortly behind the early forces.

It shipped! The robot was actually completed over the weekend (and we even had a little time for practice), crated up earlier today, and put on the truck by 4:00pm! It is on it's way, and now it is time to start to prep for Philadelphia!

Tuesday, 9/02/1999 [23:03]
February 22nd is now only 13 days away. The team would like say happy birthday to Mike Wherley. He is now 29. We are planning to meet Thursday and Saturday of this week and Sunday and Monday of the start of next. Final times will be talked about at Thursday's meeting.

February 22nd is now only 16 days away. We finally have Joe's Notes on the Prototype Downselect up. For those who haven't been checking it, the schedule has been kept up-to-date with the latest on what is happening. Finally, some interesting new links have been added to the Team Info page.
