Week 1 Day 6: Inventory

Today we did inventory of our kits  and met our mentor who graciously agreed to help us on our long and treacherous quest to victory.

Week 1 Day 5: Brainstorming

After finally discovering our task, we started working. Since we returned to school on Wednesday, we gathered to brainstorm for ideas. We shared plans for the final product, signed up for one of the five committees, and discussed dimensions and ideas for the base that will be built this Saturday. Thereafter, we split into our committees (building, design, marketing, programming, and safety). Go Sparta!

Week 1 Day 1: Kick Off Day!

At the Kick Off we learned what the game and objectives were. We started off watching a video about the game as well as some of the rules, both of which piqued our interest. Many local teams attended the Kick Off. After lunch we split into different groups based on what part of the team we were on. Each group then proceeded to different classes. The group I was in went to Robotic Functional Design. There, we learned the many ways in which we were to properly design and build the robot. I feel that even though we are a rookie team, we are definitely ready to take on the competition.
