"FCBC3B1CAADA4F0587718BBDE6BD9352"	"Aigner, Thomas"	"aignerte"	"3/24/2006 12:26:41 PM"	"1 hour"	"class"	"talked about progress made on contacting the botball teams."

"After we started working seemingly efficiently in the team the work ethics have been a little disappointing for me, recently (as we pointed out, today in class). We now started working on that, Seabass takes a good position in that, and I tried to bring more structure and assigned tasks to the team. I hope that this helps. Right now, it seems like half of us try to get work done, and the other half seems to have other commitments. We will have to point that out further and hopefully will resolve that issue."

Later I thought of different activity my school might want to do. Also our group will be having a meeting this Sunday to start a long-term activity."	"We encountered problems of communicating with our schools. I also found it interesting that most schools seem to be interested in technical help than any team building activities, maybe they are over worried."
"C1F50BF27AC44B6FA5C74BA521146380"	"Boyce, Jonathan"	"boycejs"	"3/26/2006 11:34:47 PM"	"2.5 hours"	"Reviewed the forum posts, went to class, filled out some of these surveys, and read more about beyond botball."	"- I did not encounter any difficulties. - I was successful in getting everything done that I wanted. - Beyond class I did not work with my teammates. - I learned that my teammates e-mails were being seen as spam mail. This is interesting because I did not consider that possiblity. - Always check your spam filter when you think people are not communicating with you."

We also dicussed our ideas for a longer term activity to do with the teams."	"There was some difficulty in having our start-up activity in good form for the one school that wanted that. Along the same lines as our project, we mostly need to communicate more and more transparently."
"5E3FB6CB604F47389BB8B8FA861E8B7E"	"Dunning, Nicholas"	"dunninnb"	"3/27/2006 12:11:17 PM"	"2 hours"	"I spent one hour in class and one hour trying to contact one of our schools."	"We are having some trouble getting in contact with some of our schools.  We have an activity ready to teach the student some technical botball skills.  Hopefully they will return our calls soon so we can get started.  One of our schools gave us the impression that the do not need or want our help. "

We also scheduled the delivery for the longer exercise. Outside of class I did some thinking about tightening internal team communications."	"A problem that we are facing is not communicating well within our own team. I went ahead and took responsibility for contacting the St. Mary's team as I was not happy with how the other team member handled the communication. The two freshman on our team are still learning what it takes to really have good communication within a team. Hopefully I will be able to lead by example in this matter.  Except for the communication problems we are doing well! One team member will be making a trip to PIKE this weekend. I look forward to good feedback from him and from PIKE."

We only got in contact with 2 of our 4 teams, but judging from how other teams did, that's not so bad.  We still have to deliver the team-building activity, but I think we still have a bit of time. Our work was done cooperatively, as usual.  It might be a good idea to have a leader eventually (if only for organization), but so far cooperation has gone pretty well."
"1B9CFD3F516A4342BB9FEDC379F81B27"	"Hudson, Marshall"	"hudsonmc"	"3/24/2006 12:58:32 PM"	"1.5 hours"	"Class, we shared our experiences in contacting our high schoolers with the rest of the class. "	"We learned that many other teams are haaving the same problems as we are in contacting our high schoolers. I suppose I found this comforing in that we weren't the only team which hadn't met the dealine because of technical difficulties, but also felt that you would understand because the circumstances were out of our control and we were trying. We decided to just try harder and this seems to be our strategy in dealing with many of the problems we have come across so far. It's a very generic but effective solution. "

Christopher"	"meyerdc"	"3/25/2006 3:36:37 PM"	"1 hour"	"I went to lecture today and the team discussed ideas on how to introduce the kids to the process of creating a bot."	"Even though the Lincoln MS school team is 3 hours away we decided it would be best if some of us could go down there to help the new botball coach introduce more items.  Doctor Mutchler also suggested that otehr team would come to that meeting too."

"Trying to explain how to connect certain sensors to the XBC and how to program via a chat window is very difficult.  Because the other party doesn't receive input before he/she begins typing again can result in offset instructions.  Our team is looking for a better (maybe realtime?) solution."

Later, while in class, our group we brainstormed about problems we had and how we could solve them.  We also decided that we would go and show the students at Woodrow Wilson how to use the Botball equipment.  We also started to discuss that we possibly might also go to Lincoln Middle School to teach them how to use the equipment as well.  I also completed the survey for March 22nd."	"Our group seemed to get a lot completed on Thursday.  We decided as a group how we are going to get the kids up to speed on the botball equipment.  We decided that the best way to teach the kids about the botball equipment is simply to show them.  After we show the students all of the ideas behind the equipment we would then try and answer all of their questions that we may have missed.  On Friday we will meet with our Woodrow Wilson team for the first time.  We will be completing the mind-maze activity that we have discussed about in class."

"Today we wasted a lot of class time hearing about other peoples problems.  Our problems were very simply, and the solution was plainly obvious.  We determined we needed to conitinue phone calls and Emails to Hamilton Southeast, and that we needed to email Liberty specifically on the team-building excercise.  We figured out how we planned to administer the techincal aspect of learning.   We worked really well as a team, and had no conflict.  Everyone agreed on everything we discussed."

"There really isn't much to say for today. Went to class and talked about how silly it was for at least our team not have the contact information for our respective teams. Then to make matters worse, the teams we have "contacted" haven't gotten back to us yet. Not a complete loss, but it still a little disheartening. I figured we were there as a service to them if they needed help, not a direct member of their team. If they need help with IC, I can help them out.  So, went back to my room after a long day and tried to get ahold of the teams with no success. It's come down to them contacting us if they need help, which is what I thought was what we were doing in the first place.  To top the night off, I worked more with IC and tried to figure out how to do switch statements like you do in Java. Other than that, just more messing around trying to get work done in other classes so I have time to focus on IC and help teams that contact me."

"We really needed that meeting on Friday.  We should really suggest setting up a team structure, but no one really wants to lead.  Its the first time I've actually run into a problem where we have too many indians and not enough chiefs.  Someone really needs to take the reigns and organize us, but no one wants to do it.  We really need to do something about it, so I'll probably suggest something on monday."

We then held a brainstorming session to determine how we could fix problems that we had in making contact.  Finally, we agreed on an idea for our long-term learning project, and set a time for the group to meet."	"We tried to come up with a good solution for the problems with the team contacts, but the best that we could come up with was to continue to put forth efforts to contact them.  We thought that this was the best that we could do given the distance away that the schools were.  However, I think that our idea to post programming tutorials and reference sheets will be beneficial for the teams and might lead to them contacting us for questions or clarifications."
