Hey guys,

Soooooo... We're going to have Design 4 as our cca tee of the year!

The shirt is black cotton polo tee.

Thanks,

CarolineB)

Based on the previous post..

2010-02-17T04:31:00.001-08:00

Based on the previous post, choose the design you like!

Several t-shirt designs that I have came up with..

2010-02-17T04:20:00.000-08:00

Hey guys,

Firstly I want to apologise for the lateeeee (VERY.) of CCA tees.

The first design we chose consisted of more than 3 different colours so it'll cost around $18, not good not good.

SO, another solution. I tried re-editing the colours and the robot looked like a mandarin. OHGOSH! Too much of CNY infusion. Thus, I abolished that idea.

NOW, it's for you to decide, cause I designed many other designs already. And don't know majority prefers which one. :|

DEEPLY SORRY...

Design 1

Design 2; it'll be on a yellow tee...

Design 3's front design

Design 3: back design

Design 4: BACK :)

Design 5

CCA Tee - Shirt sizes

2010-01-22T05:08:00.001-08:00

Hey Explorers,

Please vote for your favourite design on the poll and state your shirt size if you haven't inform Caroline. (through the tagboard (: )

Thank you,

Caroline (:

NJRC's coming!l

2009-05-29T21:06:00.000-07:00

Hello my fellow Explorers! :)

Here to update the blog once in a blue moon and it is still dead as it is. Never mind, I will try to update more as I can. So NJRC is coming and the theme is going to be out soon. :D Feeling anticipated? Yeap, for me. Let us all work towards our goals no matter what team you are in, just do your very best in everything and you will be a great successor. Next, for the marketing plan. Any ideas, perhaps we can discuss it on the tagboard then we'll finalised and present to Mr Loh or Ms Lam. Hahas, I was thinking of a pinball game however with the application of robotics (one of the criteria). I will soon come up with the design and post on blog for your suggestions! By the way, I came up with a draft of Explorers tee, since no one is talking about it yet. I shall keep the design a secret first. :D Good Luck and adiós !

Caroline :)

2009-04-30T23:20:00.000-07:00

Hello people,

Firstly OMG,this blog is literally dead.I don't think it should only be some of us updating only.If you do not have the account,just ASK. Yeah,perhaps some of you guys know that me and Engleng were supposed to go Denmark to compete in the Open European Championship already but due to the swine flu pandemic and some other unforeseen reasons,this competition we weren't able to accomplish.Well,looking on the bright side,we are safe here in Singapore from the swine flu though it still may spread.Haha :D I will be looking forward to upcoming Green Wave and NJRC as well as First Lego League 2010- "Smart Move".

Take loads of care,

Caroline.

People, please attend the Explorers' Camp if you can and if possible, learn as much as you can during the process. (Do enjoy the camp too if you can) Group ICs, please take care of the secondary ones, Lin Wai and Peng Hong who had just joined the club and help one another if there're problems. Do remember details like standardization/standard reporting/cheers/name tags and whatnots. :)

All in all, just give your best for the camp.

Yeah, and Group 2 - Issac Newton rocks uh?
