Greetings Beach Middle School Robotics families, this is your “Week in Robotics Update.”
Message From the Coaches:
Greetings Students & Families, we are so close to the start of the season. Wednesday night is Middle School Open House so there are no meetings for students this week. Do look for Coach Sarai to be advertising our Robotics Program at the open house. Give her a big thanks and a cheer for helping out.
It's the Fair Parade this week! We’ll be decorating the Float Friday night and walking in the parade on Saturday. All robotics students and families are invited to help decorate the float and walk. If you have a robotics uniform, please wear it and bring extra water on Saturday. Please bring candy to give out, the only rule is no “Sticks” Details & schedule is below.
Students and Families can join our Chelsea Robotics Discord server and participate in the Friends & Family Channel. If you are not familiar with Discord, good chance your children are and can help you out. We’ll use Discord often to post club news, such as Parade updates. Use this link to join: https://discord.gg/QbFnhChXaB
Moving forward, we will be emailing This Week in BMS Robotics as well as posting at www.chelsearobotics.org (minus contact information). The posts will be found under the FTC 6-8 menu.
Assistant Coach Steve
Coaches & Mentors Needed!
We have more students than ever registered for this fall, necessitating the addition of a fourth team. Let me introduce the Chelsea Surge, # 26293! The Suge will be joining Chelsea Crash, Glitch and Gremlins this fall.
We are in serious need of new Coaches and Mentors to help support our teams. In particular we are looking for Coaches for the Chelsea Glitch and Surge. Coaches are expected to work with another Coach and be present on most Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Mentors support the team broadly by providing support building the robot, documentation, supervising activities and feeding the students. If interested, please complete this form:

All volunteers will work alongside veterans and be provided all the training necessary. No experience needed to help out in any of these roles other than a desire to help our students grow and have an amazing experience.
