Frisbee golf, 1:30 pm at Bear Cave Park, Stewartville. If you're late because of church, etc, feel free to arrive when you can. Anyone interested in spending more time outside is welcome to join Tina for some geocaching afterwards.

Directions to Bear Cave Park: Take Hwy 63 south to Stewartville. Turn right (west) onto 10th Street NW, this is the 2nd possible right after the I-90 interchange. The park will be on your left (south), find some place to park - in March we parked at the snow dumping ground on the west end of the park. If you get to 11th Ave NW, you've gone too far.

Technical Meeting: Thursday May 8th

For May, we visit Rochester's Studio Academy School and visit their FIRST league robot. The Rochester Public School Robot Team will demo as well. This will be a field trip, meet at Studio Academy, and we're currently planning on providing pizza and pop, so RSVPs will be requested - email Steve Fox.

Studio Academy is the former First Baptist Church, here is a [|map to the location]

Here is a peek at their machine, and a look at the competition:

Social sometime in June, July, or August

Day trip to the Cities for the Science Museum's Star Wars exhibit. Available June 13-August 24. Tickets are anticipated to need to be purchased in advance due to high demand, so we'd not only need to agree on a day, we'll have to try to get a weekend far enough in advance that we can all get entry tickets for approximately the same time. If we get 15 or more people to commit and turn over money in advance, we can make group reservations - at least one month notice would be required for this as well.

While we're in the Cities for a day, we could also plan to hit up things like GameWorks (large video game arcade / bowling/ restaurant), the IMAX at the zoo, and/or woods paintball at Pro Paintball. Other ideas to make a full day of it are welcome.
