10-3-14 (Week Six Summary)

Accomplishments:

This week our three teams have just about finished building their chassis's each with a different design than the next. We have also put together the field and we are planning on building the scoring elements next week, starting with the ramp. Also we have got in contact and found a person who is willing to donate a fridge to us. So by Monday we will start baking cookies and working on our end effectors in class and after school.

10-1-14

Today our three tetrix groups are working on finishing their chassis's for each of their robots. Some teams have half of their chassis done and others are still stuck trying to take apart old robots and find parts. Each group should be done by Friday and they should begin coding by Monday if all goes well and everyone finishes on time. Also today after school we are having a build day so members from each team can work on their robot and start building the field.

9-30-14

Today since we have a large group of students who want to participate in FTC we decided to split in to 3 different teams to build 3 different robots and 3 different chassis. In order to build a sufficient robot that is competition ready. We have started our fundraiser for our team and our field is currently being built and put together and should be ready by Friday.

Week Six

Goals:

Our goals for this are to find a fridge and get it to the school by Friday. We are almost doing making a solid model of the robot's chassis. We got the oven in class today so we can start baking as soon as club dues are in. We also began putting the field together and doing research on the components needed to build the new field. We plan on going to home depot to buy some of the materials needed to build the new field.

Week Five Summary

Accomplishments:

Made arrangements with Otis Spunkmeyer in regards to getting an oven to bake and sell cookies to raise funds for the costs associated with participating in FTC this year. We planned on selling cookies at 2 for 1$ after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We got a restaurant depot membership so we can start buying cookie dough soon. We started looking for a fridge to store the cookie dough in class. Also we began working on the solid works model of the chassis for our robot.
