Internationals Week 1 - 1

Brainstorming

FLL

First session back and we have a lot improvement on, we split our thoughts into the four categories; Project, Robot Game, Robot Design and Core Values. We looked at our Rubrics systematically and thought about what to change to get more points. We also started to put our tasks that we need to do onto a website called Click Up that allows members of a team to see what each other is doing and if the task is completed or not. I am sure you have heard of Monday.com, this website very similar to that. For Core values, we need to make sure that all of the team members speak and contribute to the discussion with the judges, although the judges were impressed by us in robot design we need to make sure that their is something unique about our robot so that it is something new and different form the other competitors.

We are also looking at different ways that we can do runs in different combinations. We are deciding that maybe if we incorporate the bridge mission we could move the traffic jam from beams to that instead. So on the way to the bridge we could drive though traffic jam with our wedge then turn around and drive up the bridge and have a bar attachment that comes down onto the flags.

We also had a very physically demanding team building exercise where we carried every piece of equipment form the van at the front of the school to the back where we have the club all at once! We needed 8 people to carry the board with all the boxes on top.
