Monday the 13th:
First things first. Rehearsing the 8 FLL Core Values was the first step in our meeting. We then shared our research findings with the rest of the team. Next, we worked on attaching a color sensor to the bottom of the robot. Next step was programming 2 missions: Changing conditions/Multiplier lever and Apprenticeship/Search Engine lever. There is a heated competition to finish a certain mission first, then the 'winning 'team'' will get to program driving to the Sports mission.
Wednesday the15th:
We first discussed the Project section and any ideas that were to be had then. We fixed a problem with our current color sensor alignment: the cord that connected the sensor to the brick wouldn't fit in the tight space.

Weave got a nether mission called ENGAGEMENT!!!!!!!!

week after scrimmage
On Saturday, October 4, we went to the Maker Fair to do a scrimmage to test our robot with other people. We started the day by getting there early and setting up our table so that we could work on our robots attachments and programs.we tied for 5th. We saw so many different types of attachments that did so many different things.
ON Monday for our team work exercise we did written pats on the back.
And we worked on the ball mission we almost had it.
Today we are working on the multiplier and the search engine.

Wednesday the 24th
We started off the meeting by rehearsing the eight FLL Core Values. After doing all eight of them, we shared our research findings with the members of the team. This week's homework for the project
presentation is to brainstorm innovative solutions, during the week/weekend. The robot game portion was spent refining the chassis, designing attachments and programming. The teamwork exercise was challenging, but not everybody thought that it was fun.

monday before scrimmage
Today we our finishing a second robot.
This second robot will help us do two things at a time.
We just tried on our T-shirts to see if they fit. We voted on our logo. we have a scrimmage on Thursday October 2nd and Saturday October 4th.
For our project we have how people learn patience best.
We our almost done with a mission. The mission is called the apprenticeship/door.
We had the robot get so close to getting a mission done!!!!

Monday the 22nd
As always, we rehearsed the 8 FLL core values.We picked t-shirt colors today. We decided on black T-shirts with red logos. Our teamwork exercise was hard and fun
Monday, September 15, 2014
At the start of our meeting we went over the FLL core values. The we discussed the research we had done on the project. We narrowed it down to teaching patience and learning how you learn. Emmett discussed some research on patience which says meditation helps, letting go of the past, and the importance of pinpointing what makes you impatient. Gordon bought information from mindtools.com. He presented that thee were sensory, visual, active and sequential learners.
Then we went down to the basement and started on the second possible robot chassis. We are going to test the robots. We did a drop test, a turning test, and a distance test on the first robot.

We also tried out two types of attchments fo the cload access key.

Outlining Robot Characteristics
We decided that the deadline for the robot chassis was September 22 because we have a scrimmage on October 4. We made a list of qualities our robot should have. The chassis had to be:
The sensors we decided that we might use are light, infrared, and touch sensors. Ultrasonic and sound sensors were ruled out because the sound of the auditorium would disrupt them. Light sensors would be used for the colored lines on the mat and possibly the search engine model.
We talked about the project and narrowed to topics down to learning patience, learning how we learn, social cues, and money management.
-Emmett, Alexander and Gordon
- sturdy
- easy to repair
- precise in both attachments and turning radius
- compact
- heavy enough to push challenge obstacles
