Week 6

9/23 - Our goals are to catch up with the weeks for the blog, come up with a strategy for the FTC robot challenge, and start building the robot. A new member joined, Andrew, so we will have to create a page for him under team information.

Our new team member.

We decided to take a team photo because of the new member. Martin wasn't in it because he was taking the photo... 

9/27-  We finished on catching up on the blog weeks, but we still have to include a few photos. Our main focus will be making sure it can hang for the points at the last 30 seconds of the game. We have several ideas for gaining point during the middle of the game, and we have yet to see which one will work the best. We gathered all the parts for it and are ready build Monday. Also, we have created a page for Andrew.

Week 4

9/9-  This week, we plan on finishing up the power point and                 presenting it. Most people are doing well on theirs, and it's             starting to look very nice. We will most likely finish up by             tomorrow.

9/13-  We were successful at creating the power point for our   team,but the power point was later deleted so we had to present using the presentation from the second period engineering class. Everyone was really disappointed because we all worked hard on them. :(

This is the page that appeared when we tried to access the power point on Google drive.
