Refining Robots

Demonstrating the core value "We Have Fun!"

This week we spent time refining the robots we built last week to fix some flaws.  One robot, giraffe bot, was very tall and the other, pig bot, was wide and so low that the motors dragged on the table.  We also started working on claw based attachments for grabbing pets, people, and supplies on the table.  Below, you can see Damek working on the supply truck mission.  It's wheels will drive straight easily, but it's not aimed at the scoring zone.  Pushing LEGO wheels sideways is hard, so he's working on a forklift type attachment to lift the back wheels so the front wheels can more easily turn.

We continued practicing our presentation skills.  Below, Eden demonstrates some telemark skiing techniques. 

Next week, we're preparing "elevator pitches" of our project, a 30 second or so explanation off what we're working on.
