With just one week to go in the build season, Chisago Lakes-North Branch First Robotics Team 3038 is working hard to complete the arm, the minibot, and marketing materials. The team, sponsored by St. Jude Medical Foundation, has been working since January 8 to build a robot to compete at the 10,000 Lakes Regional at Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota. The build season ends February 22, 2011 and the team will not get to work on the robot again until all teams gather March 31.
