At the beginning of our meeting today, our team split up into individual sub teams. We split up into a programing team, a robot building team, and a marketing team.
The programing team, consisting of Curtis, Teddy, and Alex, worked on learning to program the robot to follow a black line. Curtis, who is the head of the programing team as he is an experienced programmer, mentored Teddy and Alex. After some critical thinking, Teddy and Alex made a successful program with little assistance!
The robot building team, consisting of Daniel, Spencer, and Josh, worked vigorously on building an arm for the robot that will accomplish several missions on the mission board. They also worked on adding the ultrasonic sensor. They made great progress.
The marketing team which consisted of Madeline and Jessica, worked on writing a letter to send out to companies in hopes of getting their sponsorship. Later, after finishing the letter, Spencer showed us a letter he had written for the same purpose. It was great! Now we have two different style letters to pick from.
The progress we are making is looking promising.
