The Head Honcho

            The Power Drive team recently added 4 more members to documentation. This means the Power Drive blog is becoming the best blog from the Bancroft-Rosalie website.

            Mr. Smith has been teaching at Bancroft-Rosalie for 18 years. He started in 1993. In his free time, Mr. Smith enjoys fishing, hunting, and spending time with his family. Dylan S. says, “Mr. Smith guides us, but he doesn’t actually do the work. He makes sure that the students get things accomplished on time.”

             Power Drive will be going on 14 years. They have successfully won 7 state championships and 5 runner-ups. Eric B. says, “Smith is very knowledgeable and has years of experience. He is a good teacher to learn from and explains things thoroughly. Plus, he loves what he does.” This year should be a great year for power drive!

......And They Are Off!

A new semester has just begun and the Power Drive team is well on their way in creating a new car. Last weeks primary goal was to evaluate the conduit models constructed by 4 different groups. Electrical conduit is used to build the prototype of the car. These models were compared to each other through its weaknesses and its strengths. Finally, they were able to choose which model would best fit the new car.

     Four new members have also been added this semester to aide in the documentation part of Power Drive.
