Eleventh Session: Tue 11/4
Session Ten Notes
Coach Kendrick is in the hospital.
I heard the team captain did a great job running the meeting, one of the parents helped by coaching brainstorming solutions, and the team selected an innovation project solution: a web site for archaeologists to source various off-road modification solutions. I also heard a lot of good work was accomplished on the robot game. I'm proud of how the team not only know how to work well together, but get set-up and cleaned-up without direction.
Session Eleven
Coach Kendrick will probably still be in the hospital.
The team needs to create a model of their solution to demo to others. This can be done in a document--it doesn't have to be a working website. You can provide examples of "webpages" using what you've found. Alternatively, sites.google.com may be easy enough to make basic demo. Once created, reach out to at least three contacts to get their feedback.
It's also time to finalize what solutions we have and assemble them into a single-robot run. The easiest way will be to load your individual solution codes into specific program numbers on the spike prime. You can do this for all three bricks, but we can only use one for the competition. We'll also need to make sure we have the sequence and proper connection of each attachment, and a single-page sheet that includes program number, attachment, and starting location, in order.
Once that's done, we'll see how long it take to run through our entire code base. Recall, we only have two minutes and thirty seconds---that time will go by quick! Be sure to save each program with a descriptive name and version so you can backtrack if needed. (e.g. 1-surface-brushing-1.03)
