Now featuring motorized attachments!

We started our meeting with a Core Values exercise.  The team stood in a single file line with hands on the shoulders of the person in front off them, and the leader was blindfolded.  The challenge was to navigate around the house.  We decided that the second person in line would be the driver and give commands to the leader.  We had fun with this one.  Interestingly, it got harder for the leader as time went on because we all got comfortable and were chatting so it was hard for the leader to hear the driver.

The team relaxes during a break.  Kenny is well camouflaged in the tree!

 This week we continued working on our project script.  We are almost done with the outline.  We've written a nice elevator pitch and the beginning and ending of the skit.

Luke sends the robot out for the cargo plane mission.

Last year, our robot didn't use any motorized attachments.  One of our big goals this year was to use motorized attachments for some missions.  At this meeting, we finally got a third motor attached to the robot, and we successfully used it to trigger the cargo plane and the tsunami missions!  Everyone is getting better at programming the EV3, too.
