New Returnable Kits Ready? Yes They Are!

We received a shipment last week from Vex Robotics that
allowed us to prepare six new returnable kits for 2013. These kits were purchased from a grant provided by the Missile Defense Agency, and will allow us to accept 6 new teams into BEST Robotics this year.

The college has also ordered kits to replace those that were purchased last year by teams and to refurbish those that were turned in at the end of the 2012 season. Those supplies should be here soon.

Do you know of a school who wants to start a BEST team for 2013? It's not too late. Just have someone from the school to contact Mrs. Nicole Carroll at 256-228-6001, ext. 2254 or via email at carrolln@nacc.edu.

New BEST Kits Arriving

It's summer time and that means it is time for us to reorder kits and parts for the upcoming BEST season. Over the next several weeks stacks of boxes, like these, will be the norm around our office. What is inside? New returnable kits and spare parts, including batteries and motors.

This shipment is provided thanks to a grant from the Missile Defense Agency, which provided $5,550 to purchase 6 new kits and related supplies. Thanks to MDA STEM Outreach for their support of BEST Robotics and other STEM initiatives!

These new kits and supplies will be put to good use on September 21 at Kickoff.
