Seventh Session: Tue 10/7
Notes from Session Six (Video conference)
The team was unable to come up with a specific technical problem related to permafrost, so coach prompted to switch the problem to transportation of heavy materials in soft ground like permafrost and sand, as considered earlier. Team members will research:
- Ground pressure
- Weight of materials
- Budgets for remote digs
- Existing solutions for soft ground
- Existing transportation methods, e.g. dump trucks
Three members of the team will meet before our next meeting to finalize the base robot design and build three models.
UPDATE: O, R, and T were able to finalize a design, and we've made two copies. Everyone will be able to start work on programming code and creating mechanisms for competition solutions next session.

Session Seven Plans
- Discuss research of new problem.
- Work on coding solutions to missions with base robots.
