In our hiatus from Blogger we have been meeting every Friday night. We've been working on building a demo-bot, in addition to learning SolidWorks and LabView. We have been reviewing our technical skills focusing on engineering terminology and GDT.
We drove the robot in the NorthWest Hills 4th of July Parade, leading the local area Girl Scouts down the parade route. We took the robot to JCPennys, IBM, the Austin Microsoft Store, and Austin Community College. We taught the GSCTX LEGO Mindstorms Summer Camp and assisted the GSCTX LEGO Waterbotics Camp. Yes, we were making the robots swim but don't try this without the specific waterproof parts. I think LEGO is still developing this system but it was extremely cool watching LEGOs swim (think propellers from a boat).
We are extremely excited for this upcoming year and are looking forward to the next FRC challenge.
Thanks for Reading!
