Saturday, January 27

Today the team continued with the assembly of the robot. They focused on building the frame and working on the wheels. Back in the AEL, several team members worked the 3D model of the robot. They used a computer program called Inventor to put parts of the robot together. There are still several things that need to be worked on but the students are working hard to make sure that their parts are ready for the completed product. The marketing team also met this morning and came up with some new ideas for advertising the team.

Disassembling the Beast 1/20/07

Robert, Cory, Alok, Mandie, Roy, and I worked on disassembling last year's robot, so we could use the parts for this year's robot. It was going well except for some of last year's crazy assembly held us up. Dr. Amir was very helpful with his machine work. Thanks to the moms who prepared the great food.

During Saturday's meeting the team continued building the robot, working on its base. They also completed the electrical wiring that goes inside the robot. On the computers, team members worked with 3D models of the robot that will eventually be part of the finished product. As the competition draws nearer, the marketing department works on advertising for the team. Today they met to discuss ideas for team T-shirts and the logo. They also have ideas for wristbands, keychain flashlights, and earrings that will represent the team.
