Happy Veterans Day! Today we didn't have school, so we held a meeting in the morning to start finalizing our project script and robot programs. For Robot Game, we worked on ironing out our program that pushes the cow model and drops a wall off at the Training Area to act as a backboard for our manure launcher. We also finally found a viable way to complete the wall-climbing challenge, using latches to hook the robot onto the wall and LEGO string attached to the motors so it can winch itself off the ground. We're really excited about this solution! On the Project side of things, we finished our first draft of the skit by adding in the "technical details" of our solution, the aptly-named Feeder Invention for Shad Habitats, or F.I.S.H. for short. We also began modifying our initial prototype to include a conveyor belt and 3D-printed gears. Tomorrow, we'll be presenting our prototype to the Fish Hatchery to test it out and get feedback from them. One week to competition, and we're pumped!
