we are having a very good time we all have jobs and we all have a place to fit in.

catapult test.

YAY! We just finished a test of our catapult. It worked better than my idea. Which was a more cannon like device.

end of the first week

first week of build season ending. O the joy, this week went by to fast and it seems as though the most important part of the season just ended but it really has just began.

One week has gone by. The team has been busy. We still have to decide the robot design. when we get to regional we will scout out other robot designs but for now we need to work,work, work.

Well, kickoff was fun - everyone had a blast! But then the fun and games stopped, and the work began. We all were thinking of ways to launch a foam basketball into the four basketball rims on the wall opposite our alliance. So far, the field-build team has started on a piece of the field called a bridge. We have the program robot up and running, and we have attached a device called a gyro sensor to help us balance the bot on the bridge. The sensor worked, but we set it for too much power and a chain kept on popping off the gear. But the bridge worked perfectly even with all the banging on the floor.
