Discussign with team members." "Most of our teams seem pretty interrested in gettign help. I'm pretty excited about possibly using video conferencing in our project. I had very little chance to talk to anyone we will be working with, so I had to gather lots of information from my teammates. I probably should have come back to the meeting at a time where the teachers were more available to talk."

"- There were no problems this day. - I feel that I learned something in class today and that some of my previous sales experience should be applicable to the activities I will be doing this quarter. - Aside from class we did not work together this day. - I learned that I have a considerable amount of sales knowledge to fall back on; I did not previously belive that so much could be applied to different areas. - Try to remember everything you learn because sometimes it can be appliciable outside the domain in which you learned it."

In the evening, I wrote an email to the teacher from Lakeshore and provided commentary on the discussion forums for how to organize a team." "For the contacting of the teachers, we decided that the best plan was to designate a single ambassador for each school. We chose thos ambassadors based on who had spoken in length to one of the teachers. We hope that that by identifying a single person as it would be least overwhelming to the teachers."

Also, our team met and discussed what people were responsible for doing in order to get in contact with our Botball teams." "It seemed like the general consensus was things went well over the weekend. All the teams were able to talk to at one group that was interested in having their help. Our main goal now is to contact our teams and begin working with them as needed. One of our teams is willing to use our short exercise and it will be interesting to get feedback from them later this week/next week. We still need to get in contact with the PIKE team (who wasn't at the conference), but I am interested in taking a trip out to Indy to see their facilities!"

The team decided to appoint 4 of our members as ambassadors to each school, and there weren't any problems with that. It was fairly easy to do, since each of us four talked somewhat more than others with a particular school, so we were able to divide it up that way naturally."

I also sent out an email to Lindsay Espenschied from Lincoln Middle School. During class we discussed how meeting our school teams went over the weekend. Later in the day I also received an email from Lincoln Middle School stating that my email was blocked. I sent a new email to the tech department so that I could unblock my email address." "The biggest problem that I encountered on Monday was the fact that Lincoln Middle School could not accept any emails from my Rose-Hulman email account. I received an email back from the school district that stated my email had been blocked. I sent a second email out to the administrator hoping that I could unblock my email address. When we were in class our group also found out that we have a new school. We were now assigned Decatur Middle School. Since we didn’t get a chance to meet with the teacher over the weekend it will be much harder for us to build a relationship with her. I will have a better idea how things are going to go with this new school by tomorrow.

We spent a lot of time listening to other groups that will not pertain to us. The email was to confirm that Edwardsville high was not really going to work with us. I got this conformation. It was interesting to see how much time my group spent at the conference, and different opinions of different teams."

It was much to our dismay that we needed to be further along than where we were, but I guess we get to buckle down and focus on a few things. While I think I did a very good job of contacting my groups and spreading information around, I neglected to actually collect contact information FROM them. So our team has no direct way of contacting them. So, what we are going to do is call up the school and see if they know who for us to contact. We left class with the promise of meeting on Tuesday to figure this all out. The rest of the time was spent working with IC and trying to figure out how to dynamicly figure out how to manipulate several arms and wheels at the same time while keeping a global counter going so the robot can shut down ant the appropriate time.

The final half hour was spent writing up an e-mail to send out to our teams that we didn't end up using in the end." "Self organization is important. Because I had prepared my ideas before the class I was more able to participate in the exercises and to help our team communicate about their experiences more because I knew what I had done and could ask leading questions. Speaking of leading questions, they're an important tool. You know how they say you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. Well its true. People have to want to do something in the first place for you to really convince them to do it at all."

We also discussed ideas for long-term teamwork planning, and split to try and contact each of the teams." "The problem that I encountered is that we forgot to obtain an e-mail address for one of the coaches. However, we have a phone number for their office in the school, so we plan to call them and try and get their information."
