Team Update: February 13, 2009 (Part 2)

For those who were on the team last year, hopefully you all remember the robot book we made up. For those who are new on the team, each year we make a book about the robot. We put as much information as we think is important in there. It is a great help when a judge asks you a question and you aren't sure of the answer and you know it's in there. It helps us be prepared which could possibly help us win an award.

Here is the breakdown of our topics and who has signed up for what:
Section 1: Drive System - Shelby
Section 2: Wiring - Sammy
Section 3: Pneumatics -
Section 4: Ball Collector - Mikey
Section 5: Dumping Mechanism - Christian
Section 6: Frame work - Ally/Shannon (Shannon for bumpers)
Section 7: Programming - Collin/Mark
Section 8: Build Season & Schedule

We need someone to sign up to do the Pneumatics section of the book, and we still need Matt F., David, Mat M., Montrey and Q to sign up for something. We will have doubles on some sections of the book, which is a good thing. The people that still need to sign up for something, I will be asking you today (in 2 hours hehe) what section you want to work on. It is important that you put as much information as you know on that subject in this book.We need to have the rough draft by tomorrow, and the final draft must be turned in by Monday at the latest. We will also like to have pictures for each section. If you aren't able to take pictures, chances are either I have already taken a picture of that part of the robot. If you want more or I didn't take a picture of that part, tell me exactly what it is that you want me to take a picture of, and I'll get the best angle to take the picture. Today during the morning since there will only be about 2 mentors there with us, each person is to start writing up their section of the book unless they are actively working on the robot. Come lunch time, it will be too hecktic to write up parts for the book.

4 more days til we ship SAM off!!!
