It worked out pretty well, and was an interesting experience." "We kind of already do EXP in our classes at Rose. Meaning, we already kind of just go at it with only a vague idea of what we are doing. The difference here is that only one person is doing the work now."

I hope you noticed that I did that very accurately, before. I will put in an average of 2.5 hours per day/weekend, which is the minimum of time I actually spend, including class, class assignments, working with our Botball teams, team communications, several team meetings for Beyond Botball, individual work/thought on Beyond Botball, and possibly other things which I can't think of anymore, right now. I hope that is acceptable for you. Thanks." "Teamwork is going alright, could be better. Motivation is still low with some of the team mates. We split up the Beyond Botball work into two "main groups" according to our strategy and the group who takes care of collecting and scoring could also be seen as seperated into movement and collecting/scoring. As mentioned before we submitted exercise modules to our Botball schools and the were thankful about that but no one but Villa Duchesne got back with us and requested something else or gave feedback. This was a little disappointing, at least for me, since I spent a lot of time on preparing that stuff (in contrast to some teammates)." "7596A7B168334DA5B0F196286D2DCA71" "Blackburn, W. Ryan" "blackbwr" "4/23/2006 3:39:41 PM" "1 hour" "Looked over beyond botball rules and contest and looked at possible design strategies." "Competition looks interesting, I think we will buiild 2 bots."

I put the pieces that came off back on. - I'll get feedback on lego skills soon when I try to build something for the robot. - We split up into pairs and worked with one person watching and one person working. - I learned that maybe I can build things that work, I had previously taken for granted that I couldn't build anything. - There were no take-away lessons from my work."

Afterwards I spent time figuring out my schedule to see if a St. Louis trip was possible." "No teamwork activity today, though we did set things in motion for a potential trip to St. Louis next weekend. The problem with the Indy trip was that it seemed like it was too scattered and would be too much work to try to organize a group trip so soon. We stopped similar problems from arising with the St. Louis trip by designating a coordinator for the St. Louis trip. She would act as the contact to the rest of the class and was assigned the task of emailing the class to poll for interest. Hopefully this will work well and a trip will be organized!"

I helped Jess and Alex build a basket for the trebble eater." "I encountered two problems. Jess was continually getting distracted and Alex was not always nice to the other students."

There weren't any major problems - it's all fairly straightforward."

"We did more discussion about the trip we will be taking to hamilton south east this saturday. we decided that we will be helping them primarily with programming because that is the area they requested help in."

"Looking over the pieces, I did elarn that there are several types of brains, like one with just a simple motor, and since our team is considering having a robot with multiple parts, it might be more efficient if stupider pieces had smaller, more simple brains controlling them to conserve on space and weight."

"It was a worthwhile time with the students. I was paired with students developing a method to overcome the PVC pipe in the playing field. Once the students were done with the task though, they got rambunctious and it was hard to get them to focus again."

"We were for the most part very successful with our team at Woodrow Wilson. When we got to the school we broke into smaller groups of 3 or 4 and helped the students work on solving some of their problems. My small group was working on mounting a servo onto their claw. The one problem my school group ran into was the claw fell apart when we got it out of the box. Some of the claw pieces weren�t secured when they put it away the last time they worked on it. After we got it back together the students had difficulty mounting the servo onto the claw. I think on Friday when we meet again I may give them more suggestions on how to get it mounted. Overall, I think we did a good job helping the students along."

Definately made no promises that I will be going anywhere, as I have other obligations to attend to. However, from what Dr. Mutchler told us, there must be somesort of interest if we are making the long trip out there. No other work was done due to a test in a different class. Took up the rest of my time."

"My portion of the guide consisted of grouping several commands for programming in Interactive C together in a way that would be easy for the teams to use when they wanted a quick reference sheet of commmands. Each part included the command, the argument types, if any, that it took, and a sample function call. All of this was condensed so that I was able to fit almost all of it on a single page. "
