We heavily recruited this year from local area schools and WACO affiliated FIRST Lego League team. Our team grew to 11 members while losing one senior and two others dropping off.

Sponsors
Without these generous sponsors, #5140 would not exist as a team. Thank you!
WACO Education Center and Air Museum is the primary sponsor and namesake for #5140. From providing the bulk of the funding for the team, they provide the new facilities, FTC team fees, equipment, tools and training field. Without their generous support and leadership, #5140 would not exist.
Collins Aerospace generous donation to the newly established WACO Learning center has provided #5140 with beautiful team room to build and collaborate.
Radiance Technologies sponsored the team for a second year. Their assistance with team membership greatly helps us in our ability to recruit new members.
Second year sponsor, Canvas has directly assisted in the purchase of parts and equipment.

Brainstorming
And the subtitle is better
Prior to season start, the team tested various base construction options, specifically with 3D filament. Heat inserts connected 3D designed and printed walls and then tested for strength.
Results were recorded on video and uploaded to our YouTube channel.
After attending the DECODE kickoff event, the next practice consisted entirely of a brainstorming session. The team threw out ideas for Base/Drive,Element Pickup, Element Throwing, Element Storage and Control. These items coincide with the point award system during each match.
The team documented their thoughts on notebook paper during a 10 minute solo design.
Some players drew out their ideas on paper instead of just words.
We then took those drafted ideas, eliminated what we didn’t think would work and drafted robot designs up individually.
After going through our designs and giving pros and cons of each, we ended up with two types of robots: tall/skinny, flat/wide.
