It was very windy and chilly today when we visited the Fish Hatchery to present the third version of our prototype and test it out. We met with Mrs. Kerstin Cody and Mr. Jake Osborne, who brought us to the shad pool and let us set up the FISH. Here is the prototype we brought:
6 days until States! We still have a lot to get done, but today was quite a productive meeting. On Project side, we modified our script a little bit and will finalize it on Friday. Our prototype is coming along nicely and we have another meeting with the Fish Hatchery this Thursday to test our new design. Our bragboard is also updated.
In Robot Game, we tested out our programs and fixed the flaws that we found with both the robot and the programs. We found we have a faulty gyro sensor on one of our robots, so we ordered a new one, which will hopefully arrive on time. Now we just have to practice, practice, practice and hope nothing else goes wrong with the robot. Happy December! Today marks two weeks until States, and we are working hard! In Project, we continued modifying our prototype, as well as brainstormed some ideas to improve our presentation and make our game show more realistic and exciting. In Robot Game, we continued working on the long program that scores us a lot of points. We made a strategic decision to not use our manure launcher since it takes so much time to set up. This allows us to take off the obstructive wall that we have to carry to the Training Area and hopefully complete some of the missions in that corner of the board, like Panda and the Zoologist.
Let's keep working Crocobots! |
