FLL - New Season, Blog Changes, and Other Updates

Hey everybody! It's that team of year again- yup, that's right, FLL is back! Like Bryce has already explained, some of the new missions are going to be great, and our team is already back into the swing of things. This year our team has a total of 5 NXT bricks, a few of which have already become base models (refer to some posts from the spring). Right now we are mostly working on the field setup and building all the models (of course, I decided to pick the most boring one in the guide wall, figures). By my estimates we will be in full force programming and building attachments by next week. I've got a good feeling about this year based on our team, the changes we've made in planning, the new kids, and the huge head start we have on last year. Not only that, but most of our team already has a seasons experience, and we will be able to start programming right away.
On the other hand, I have some apologies to make. As the admin of this site, I haven't really been doing my job. I haven't been posting, I haven't been building, I haven't even really been checking on the blog. I've been a little bit caught up with some other things in my life, but I think I should be able to begin posting a normal amount again.

Lastly, I want to announce some changes to the blog. We will be adding and changing some of the categories (as you can see, this post is labeled as "FLL" instead of the old labeling), and my site won't be updated as often (it's sort of a hassle to post updates there). We will also have some more guest posts from team members.

I think this should be a good season!
