Meeting today - blue painter tape

This afternoon we had a meeting in the Computer Lab.

• All members were there.
• Handed out Team T-Shirts to each member.
• Then we talked about the moonbots rules.
• We used blue painter's tape to mockup the lunar surface on the Computer Lab carpet.
• We used Walker's ramp, crater, items (h20 and he3) and rock pieces to help conceptualize the lunar surface in the challenge.
• Each member gave their ideas about how the vehicle might move around the surface from the platform to collecting the items and returning to the ramp.
• Each member pretended to be a robot and went along the course, exaggerating their encounters with obstructions (like craters, rocks, and berm).
• We discussed tasks needed to complete Phase 1.
• Each member given a sheet with the lunar surface diagram and a bunch of mock-robots that they can cut out and pretend to be traveling over the lunar surface course.

Also, visited by:

• Mr. Dogan (many thanks for his suggestions)
• Mr. Tom
• Mr. Jones

Early theme music:
