Day 8: Gracious Professionalism

The meeting started with some words from Mr. Greene about members being on time (3:25 is preferred). Corey took over to tell us today we needed to test the shooter with the ball, and get the pistons on the robot so we can finally perform a systems test. In their subgroup, Media finished the final designs on their competition t-shirt as well as got some good photos of the Mechanical team at work. Animation brainstormed character ideas for their challenge, and started to create models in Autodesk Maya. Business team worked on our budget and senior gifts for the end of the year. Business team leader, Becca Kouba, started to plan the end of the year dinner. Mechanical team spent their time prototyping for their shooter and drilling holes so the pneumatic pistons could be attached to the robot in order to get it tested. Controls team accidentally broke the solder iron, so they had to get a new one before starting their workday. Their main focus was attaching the solenoid breakout and finish setting up the board in order for programming to figure out the movements of the robot. Programming team spent their time researching while waiting for the robot to be ready for further programming. CAD team was brainstorming motor ideas in Autodesk Inventor. Safety team split up to work on the low and high goals. With a few pieces of wood cut, they were focused on gluing them together. Today was an effective day for production of the robot.
