Friday Night Fun

      Tonight we finished writing the skit.  It is based on the Wizard of Oz, and will be a lot of fun to perform!  We also "perfected" (as much as we "perfect" anything) the gyro sensor program on the robot.  This included a lot of math :)

 

Sierra, Hazel, and Zake work on the skit.

PJ, Zulu, and Zake watch the robot.

On Thursday, we presented to our local Rotary Club.  It was a great experience.

Another Great Day

    Today we finished run 4, where we drop off the objects we collected in previous missions. Our line following program is now much smoother and more accurate. Lots of progress on our other missions was made.  Our project team composed an e-mail about earthquakes that we sent to a few experts.  Then, we created a spreadsheet with information on the supplies necessary for earthquake relief.

Essie doing research

       Tonight everybody worked on the game and clone robot in the beginning half of the work night. In the second half of the work night everybody except for Flybird and Essie. Essie and Flybird worked on the project. Flybird modifies about half of the lego models. Essie went on a website on hybrid airships and compared them with Chinooks helicopters and you know want? Chinooks cost more than hybrid airships! 

We worked on the truck and ambulance mission (all so called run 3)and fixed some things on it.Oh we got a new team mate!His name is Zulu. 

    

A Productful Day

         Today was a very busy day.  We worked on the missions, finished building the clone robot, and shared FLL with a family. 
         We accomplished a lot with the missions, for we learned how to square up with the gyro sensor and how to travel straight, also using the gyro sensor.
         We were building the clone robot in order that we could work on simultaneous missions, using two robots.
         We shared what FLL was with a family.  They seemed very interested, and we enjoyed the outreach.

       Today we worked on the relief center for the research project. We worked on a air recycler. It turns the carbon dioxide into oxygen. We also made a backhoe. It is a machine that has a giant claw and it scoops dirt with the claw. With the robot we made it get a step further to the house mission. We read Dr.B's ( a scientist ) email that he sent back to us and we learned that there are three different sizes of the hybrid airship. Written By: Zake and Flybird250

      Tonight we worked on the robot and project. For the project, we made a disaster relief center, for that, we made a fork-lift, to lift boxes of supplies. We also made an all-terrain vehicle, and we made a heavy-duty tank to drag and lift boxes of supplies for the hybrid airship model.
