The last couple of Fridays we have begun lessons in Solidworks. So far everyone seems to be picking up the CAD software pretty easily. Since we aren't building anything at the moment we've begun to draw up the Minion, from Despicable Me, in Solidworks. It will be quite an endeavor but we're all looking forward to learning more in Solidworks. Our robot finally came back from St. Louis. We uncrated it in the first rainstorm Austin has had in a while. We stored the robot in the house. The crates are outside protected in the bag & tag bags. As soon as things dry out, we will move the crate to the storage unit. Right now we are all taking End of Course tests, IB tests, AP tests and then finals.
In regards to demos,
Microsoft opened a new store in Austin. Girl Scouts of Central Texas asked us to demo our 2012 robot along with the robot from the Girl Scout Waco team, #4335 the Metallic Clouds. The robots were in the Microsoft store for a combined total of 4 hours. At the end of the day, we decided to have a little fun and drive the robot to the car, effectively drawing quite a large crowd. We are looking forward to working with Girl Scouts of Central Texas' new sponsor, Microsoft.
