Welcome!

Welcome to the blog that is the engineering notebook for The Benson Robotics Club's team # 267.  Here we discuss what happens at our team meetings, and any ideas or progress we make.

It looks like the way we are going to be doing this is by creating posts for each relevent day/meeting and then people add comments saying what they did/discovered etc.
