  First on the agenda was Ben Joslin and several students from Studio Academy. They told us about the goals of the FIRST Robotics League and why it's important. Then they told us about what they did last year (a recap of the May presentation they did for us), and showed the video of what this year's project is. This year's project includes a low traction situation, such as what would be experienced in light gravity; it's aptly named Lunacy. They're in their very limited build window (6 weeks?), working from 3-9 or 10 pm every day after school at Studio Academy. If anyone want to volunteer, you can show up at Studio Academy during that time. If you want to talk to Ben first, get a room number, etc, contact him at 529-1662 ext 24 or bjoslin@studioacademy.org .

  Another contract error apparently under Brucker's watch occurred when teachers Ben Joslin and Lita Luke were not compensated for teaching a class during what was supposed to be an hour off each day.
  ...
  Joslin, however, had already received a $2,100 check during Brucker's last week of work in May.The board had not approved and had not officially gone through payroll.
  
  Joslin, also the board treasurer, said he received the check because he continuously asked the administrator about the missing funds.Both teachers said they had asked Brucker several times about the payment and were told it would be finalized.
  
  Luke's figures were prepared by the state and the board included a provision to recheck the amount given to Joslin.

  The catapult that launched a basketball skyward last week at Studio Academy on Rochester's southwest side produced oohs and ahs from Ben Joslin's students.
  
  Wait until next year.
  
  As much as his students enjoyed the launch, it was primitive compared to another hands-on undertaking Joslin is planning for his students at the art-centered charter school: Rochester's first high school robotics team.
  
  Joslin, 27, a lanky Arizona native whose dad is a computer programmer, is in the early stages of organizing a citywide team to compete in a national robotics league called FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology).
  
  The league was founded in 1989 by Segway transporter inventor Dean Kamen.
  
  "The goal of FIRST from day one has been very simple -- change the culture of the United States," Kamen recently told NBC Nightly News.
  
  With 1,300 FIRST teams competing last year, including 16 in Minnesota, Joslin said he is "completely dumbfounded" that there is no team in Rochester, which is home to Mayo Clinic and IBM.
  ...
  The class will provide a nucleus for the Rochester FIRST team, Joslin said, but he invites students from any local high school, as well as adults interested in being robotics-league mentors, to send him e-mail at thebenjoslin@hotmail.com.
  
  If Joslin can raise the $10,000 he needs for parts, tools, and student transportation, the Rochester robotics team will get ready for competition this fall.
  
  In January, Joslin said, the Rochester team and other FIRST teams around the country will receive identical parts and be told exactly what sort of contest they need to build their robot to compete in.
  
  Teams get six weeks to build their robots, Joslin said.After completing their robot, the Rochester team would travel to either Minneapolis or Milwaukee for a regional competition and a chance at the national finals, a showdown that this year was held in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
  
  Joslin, who moved to Rochester because his wife is a medical student here, was an adviser last year for a FIRST team in Tucson, Ariz.
  ...
  Joslin said the citywide team he's starting might be a test case for Rochester.If the team is successful, he thinks more local teams might form.
