By Friday: Basic frame done, minibot done

By Monday: Wiring done, robot together, programming started (updating CRIO)

That day we wanted to accomplish:

Take a new quiz on the manual

Discuss gracious professionalism

Think of essay ideas for Anadia

Finalize forklift design

What pieces do we need?

Cutting pieces for frame

Wheels and Spacers on robot

Forklift Motor discussion

Take apart top frame

Basic Electronics

In the end, we accomplished:

The quiz

Discussion of gracious professionalism- we came up with the following ideas to improve Gracious professionalism within our team:

One person should talk at a time during our meetings

Everyone is accountable for their actions

Communication needs to be improved between groups

No horseplay during meetings

We also discussed the essay ideas for the Chairman's Award “why are we awesome?, What makes us stand out?”

The small size of the team

What we have been able to achieve with our limited amount of supplies

The impact of creativity on our team

How much everyone is involved such as music, drama and knowledge bowl



Figured out spacers for all wheels, one wheel still needs the smaller wheels on it

Took the top of the frame off

Electronics: basics are done

What we did not accomplish on our list:

Discussion about forklift motors

Finalization of forklift design
