The Team Project

The team project has evolved into "How to improve our classmates learning to create a blog or website." We discussed the evolving team project at the last meeting, and there were some homework assignments given out that will need to be presented at the next meeting on 12/5:

       Purposes/reasons for creating a blog or website -- Payton, Pranit

       How to ask parents permission for creating a blog -- Jonas, John

       Where to create a blog account and how to limit access -- Chow-Fong

       How to present this to classmates/FLL Competition -- Dhruv (Gabrielle?)

If you have ideas on any area not assigned to you, feel free to offer them to the team.  Please don't feel the need to wait until the next meeting to discuss your ideas, but present them here in the comments.

Team Name, #2

OK, NCS4

At the last team meeting, the recommendation was that the team be named the Patriot Panthers.  Please consider this name, leave comments on it, and be prepared to decide on this the next time we are all together.  Thanks.

Team Name

What do you want for your team name?  The Old Dogz? (Actually, that one is taken.)  The Dapper Dons?  The Seven Samurai?

Post your ideas and comments on the team name below!

Progress Report

 The Team has a new robot design, constructed by Dhruv, which is more compact, more sturdy, and more stable, and should be more maneuverable around the board.  Attached to the front of the robot is a "plow" attachment made by Chow-Fong and Gabrielle, to help with the Changing Conditions mission (15 points) and perhaps other missions as well. 

 

Also, courtesy of Gabrielle, we have a platform model for the Apprenticeship mission, for which the team will get 20 points just for bringing this model to the competition.  Also, with the help of Pranit and Dhruv, Gabrielle was able to use the robot to push the model into the proper position on the game board, bringing another 15 points to the team.  Well Done!
