Programming and Clean Up!

Today we are working on programing for the forklift cause we FINALLY! finished our forklift. So we programed so we can complete all the missions on the house. We got to start from the base and then get in the prefect position to get the points and hit the target. We also cleaned our floor cause there was a lot of pieces on the floor and it was really dusty! We also worked on a proposal so we could get money if we qualify for the Nation Championship.

Forklift!!!

For many day`s we have been working on our forklift so we can complete our house mission to earn our 110 points for the game. After we complete this task we are going to "pop champagne" which is really sparkling lemonade. We are working really hard not for popping champagne for getting points. We also worked on and wrote down our deep dive and printed it out and posted it on the robotics bulletin board.

Forklift! combined with Deep Dive

Today we did more work on the forklift and we wrote down our deep dive and what it is on a google doc. The research team also did some research on IDEO. We looked for some of their methods that can help us. We worked on the forklift, because then we can complete the house mission which is about 75 to 80 points, just the house.

Climate Exhibit- Museum of Natural History

Today we went on a field trip to the Museum of Natural History to the Climate Change Exhibit. We used public transportation to get there. We met a doctor named Dr. Mathis. He gave us a personal tour of the exhibit. We learned about what is bad for the climate and what affects it. After we did the exhibit we asked him questions about climate change for our research project.

Getting Prepared for Dr. Mathis and work on the robot!

Today we prepared for our visit to Dr. Mathis at the climate exhibit in the Museum of Natural History. This guy is a really smart guy. He wrote two books, one is about climate change and the other is about earth science. So we prepared questions that can help us on our research project and make us look SMART.

Forklift !!!

Today we all worked on the forklift to help us complete one of the missions which is the House which is worth a lot of points. We also had some visitors that want to do a documentary on us because they were interested to do

Clean Up !

Today we just cleaned up our Lego kits and organized
our pieces. We organized our kits, so when we are fixing or
building a robot we can get the pieces right away. Which
gives us more and saves time.

Deep Dive!

Today we watched a video from youtube about IDEO. IDEO is a engineering and design company. They did something called a DEEP DIVE where you brainstorm. After you brainstorm everybody brings their ideas together. So that was what we did. We brainstormed on one of the missions that was complex for us so we thought of ideas.
