Old Time Fair
We will be participating in the annual West Linn Old Time Fair from July 11th - 13th! We will be bringing our outreach robot, Krog, for some fun demonstrations, selling some 3D printed trinkets, and participating in the parade. Feel free to stop by our stand to support our team!

SOLVE Events
We continue to participate in SOLVE events. We will be at Mary S. Young Park on August 2nd from 9 AM - 12 PM. We usually do ivy pulling, trail chipping, or debris cleanup. It is a great opportunity to get to know the team and contribute to the community. This will be our 63rd time volunteering.

Current Projects
Krog update
As a team we are trying to get our 2024 robot Krog up and running for future outreach events
Subteam Updates
Hardware (Design, Manufacturing, Mechanical, Electrical)
After a fantastic season, hardware is preparing for offseason projects including getting our 2024 robot, Krog, back in working order for use in outreach as well as continuing work on Krill for offseason competitions. Working on Krog is currently a top priority. They are also starting to train new members on machines to be ready for the upcoming 2025-26 season.
Software
Following an amazing season, software is working alongside our hardware sub teams to bring Krog, our 2024 robot, back up and running for our outreach camps, and refining Krill for offseason competitions. They will also continue investing in using computer vision and AI to track game objectives, in preparation for next year.
MOB (Marketing, Outreach Business)
The MOB team is currently focusing on planning their upcoming outreach summer camp, Summer of STEAM. They are also focused on continuing to refine their judging procedure, ensuring that our team’s efforts and contributions are accurately conveyed.
