FRC Team 1359
wags had a blast competing in a Week 1 event the past couple days. We were fortunate to bring home a Spirit Award, AND come in third place. We narrowly missed a shot at the finals, but were very happy with how our little robot, Siren’s Song, performed. The team even had time to hit the pool Friday night in the hotel!
We are already back in the shop today, getting ready for our next event this coming weekend in Salem.
Scalawags will be washing (and drying) cars for FREE on Saturday, July 30, from 1 – 4. Look for us in the LHS parking lot, near the track entrance. Donations are gladly accepted – and we’re looking to take your redeemable cans and bottle off your hands, too!

Percy and a few of our scrappy pirates had the opportunity to visit with the vendors at the Expo, hoping to collect sponsors, expand our visibility and get closer to finding a new home. Everyone was so nice and we can’t wait to see everyone at National Night Out next Tuesday!

The scalawags went to the Sportsman Holiday parade in Sweet Home. We had parent help and two alumni and Percy. Two parents had electric scooters. For handouts we gave temporary tattoos and jolly ranchers. The group of people was fairly big. We felt the love from Sweet Home. Transporting the ship was mildly difficult but fun.
The Scalawags will again host students in grades 4-8 in our shop for a morning of STEAM learning and fun on Saturday, February 22, from 9:30 – 11 am. We will meet students in Room 724 of LHS. For more information, contact Kelly at kelly.cleveland@lebanon.k12.or.us
Scalawags are pleased to announce the next meeting of our Jr Robotics crew. On Saturday, January 18, we invite students in grades 4-8 to join us from 9:30 – 11. We will be learning about the Scalawags’ 2020 challenge, coming up with our own solutions, and then visiting Team 1359 in their shop down the hall to see what solutions they have come up with.
We can be found in the 700s hall of Lebanon High School, room 724. This is the building at the back of campus, on 7th Street. Look for pirate flags in the parking lot!
With our new space crammed full but not yet organized, the Scalawags are proud to announce that our Junior Robotics program will resume business as usual. Our first meeting in our new space at the high school will be Saturday, November 23, from 9:30 to 11. 4th through 8th graders are invited to the small engines room in the 700s hall, which can be reached by driving around to the back of the school, where the staff parking lot is located. There will be lights on, a door propped open, and a pirate flag proudly waving. Returning students are encouraged to bring a friend! Don’t forget to come with close toed shoes, tied back hair, a good attitude, and no loose or flowing clothing!
Training for future authors, editors, and admins of the new website.
