Hitchcock Hall Room 214

Meeting Agenda: 

  1. Individual/Final Competition Run
  2. Come up with team name

Meeting Notes:

Everyone was present for this meeting. The primary purpose of the meeting was to work on the robot so that it was ready for the final and individual competitions. This meant coding the route for the robot to follow to achieve all the tasks required. The testing log for this meeting can be found here.

The whole group observed and helped test the robot for individual competition. In between runs, Shyon, Meghan, and Dean worked on coming up with a different team name for final competition, as well as a name for the robot. They landed on “Need More Cardboard” as the team name since cardboard was a huge resource for the group. They also decided to name the robot “Tom Jr.” since Tom, also known as Tom Sr., put so much time and effort into the robot.

Future Actions:

  1. Fix problems with robot
  2. Individual Competition preparation
