It's been challenging for us with the new EV3 robot, because we have had this robot design for 4 years now, and we are going to change it this year. We have to get the robot to be short enough, because there is a string going across the robot field. With the new EV3, we have to learn a new programming language. it is pretty much the same just some thing are in different places
So far we have had 3 field trips,
- Ham Radio
- 911 Dispatch Center
- Sullivan Weather Station
We have had a couple really good projects, but then we found that they were already patented, but now thankfully we were able to think of a new project that looks like it might have some hope! We are still trying to find a technology that will work, we have found a few things that might work, but we will have to research some more to see if they will work.
We have been having lots of fun with teamwork exercises that our coach thinks of. Some of the teamwork exercises that we have done are, passing a ball one person over around in a circle facing backward, getting a big blue ball from one side of the yard to the other, with out using our arms or feet, and we had to do it while we were crab walking, another one that we did was where we only had 9 balls, and and 4 pieces of cardboard. We are getting pretty good at them now, we still need some work though.
