| We meet every Thursday at Lunch in Mr. Maskel's Room: Rm. 206. We also have off-campus meetings, which are outlined below (starting since November 16th). If you need to find out what happened at some meeting, you're in the right place! (Though we know you'd never miss a meeting, right?) |

Not Much Stuff, But It's Good To Have |

We Have A Whole Lot to Do |
First of all, we have to decide what our team layout will be. I was under a different understanding than it seems many of you were, so we're going to vote on it.
Also, we have to set up the teams. Those can be shifted around a bit before the competition, but it's best if they're pretty finalized by the end of this meeting.
We also have to make some headway with the Uber Botball Challenge. We're running out of time!
The timing for this meeting is set for three hours, but we're likely to go over because we have a lot to do. If you're getting a ride, it would probably be best for you to call your ride when we're done rather than have them pick you up. Thanks! |
Sunday, 02/01 |
1:00p ~ 4:00p |
Eddie's Mom's House |
Challenge: We Should Be Done! |
| I can't believe we're not done yet! We're going to FINISH THE GAME BOARD. WE SURE WILL. |
Sunday, 01/25 |
1:00p ~ 4:00p |
Eddie's Mom's House |
Challenge: Really Complete Uber Botball Prep |
| Damn! We didn't get the board the other day, so we didn't actually do any game boardage. No worries. We'll take care of that this time! We're also going to discuss some possibilities for our foodage fund raiser. (Food sale?) |
Saturday, 01/17 |
1:00p - 4:00p |
Ace's House |
Challenge: Complete Uber Botball Prep |
| We need to finish up with the preparation of our next challenge. We got the logistics (scoring and game boardage) down during the last meeting, and we have to simply carry it out this time! |
Tuesday, 12/30 |
1:00p ~ 4:00p |
Eddie's Mom's House |
Challenge: Begin Uber Botball Challenge |
| First of all, we have to finish catching up with the challenges: we need to finish the sumo competition (I think it's just a matter of actually doing it) and we can start on the next one. The next challenge is the Uber Botball Challenge. This is slightly indistinct, but we're going to do something like a truncated version of Botball. I expect everyone to be at this meeting!!! Today we're going to prepare for the challenge (logistics and stuff.) We will actually begin the robotics part of the challenge in one or two meetings from today. |
Tuesday, 12/23 |
2:00p ~ 6:00p |
Ahmed's House |
Challenge: Wrap-up Two Challenges |
| We have to actually race (if it isn't done by now) because we didn't get around to that, we have to finish up the sumo competition, and talk about what we want to do for the next competition (the uber-botball one.) |
Saturday, 12/13 |
2:00p ~ 5:00p |
Adam's House |
Challenge: Sumo |
Begin the next challenge, which is the sumo challenge. W00! (Find the challenge list here)
We also have to totally finish up with the races (one team needs to finish programming, and we have to actually race!) |
Sunday, 11/30 |
12:00p - 3:00p |
Steve's House |
Lesson: Wrap-up Programming |
| We're going to finish up whatever we don't get around to on the previous meeting. Also, we're going to finalize the list of challenges that we're going to do to train for Botball. That will be posted after the meeting! |
Sunday, 11/23 |
12:00p - 3:00p |
Ace's House |
Lesson: More Programming |
Nobody told me anything about when they wanted to finish the programming lessons. So, we're going to get 2/3rds of the way done this next meeting! We're going to start going over program implementation considerations and the actual syntax of Interactive C. We're going to program simple robots to do simple tasks. Yay!
As you now know (especially if you read the email I sent you already), I defined the date and time for this meeting without consulting you guys first. I apologize, but I had to because we aren't having lunch this week! So, this is the date and time. The location; I'm waiting for a response from somebody to let me know who is able to host this time. |
Sunday, 11/16 |
12:00p - 3:00p |
Sasha's House |
Discuss Upcoming Building Challenges |
Today we talked a little bit about the building challenges that you guys are going to be put through. Starting next month, we're going to build some "test" robots that compete in the following challenges:
Racing, where you simple race against your opponents; Sumo, where you push your opponent from the ring; TP Tube and Nest manipulation, two separate challenges that should prove very useful for Botball; an Encoder Maze, so we can get used to those stupid but necessary shaft encoders; a Lifting challenge; and finally a Weird Programming challenge for those who feel like getting more into the programming with low-level oddities such as sonar jammers, etc.
We also built break-dancing robots, which we're going to play with on Thursday (11/20). |

Test: A Test of the Table Format |
| This is a random extra table for format testing. Disregard this (it will be at the bottom, so it will be easy to ignore anyway.) and you'll be fine. Of course, if you don't disregard this, you may be confused; here's a hint: this meeting never happened, seeing that the dates, times and location are impossible. Ok, good! |
