Ryan" "blackbwr" "5/18/2006 3:28:53 PM" "2.5 hours" "Class activities and finish up our paper." "I think our paper is good and I think we did a good job of working with each other. We both found sources on our own then compiled and wrote the paper together."

This involved originally building a wheelbase and an arm. The original wheelbase was later scrapped because it could not climb PVC. Then, on the days before the competition, we realized that our current robot would not work and we switch strategies. At this point, I simplified and miniaturized the robot, which included another rebuild. Finally, this last week has involved work on the paper." "Problems: We encountered a number of problems. First, the robot was having troubles which required a rebuild and then we switched strategies due to lack of time, which required another rebuild. Group wise, the group dynamics were subpar. That is, it took awhile for anyone to assume leadership, since nobody wanted it. When the robot finally started to be built, Bass and I took control of the teams (the blocking robot team and the "gathering" robot team). As far as I know, his team worked very well. My team did too, but the work on the robot was mostly done by myself. We would often take the paired programming approach in the building, but it was often me building and one of the three of them watching. Design decisions were made as the group, and went very well. The biggest decision that we had to make was the scrapping of our original design and going with a "pusher robot", which happened within the last 2 days before the competition. It was a very poor time to make the decision, but we know that we could not get the robot working in two days, but might get something similar to work. Ultimately, it didn't pay off and we had problems with operation."

"The main problem for the report was finding a time when both of us could work together on the report. After that, it was fairly simple to do research on the internet and discuss what we wanted to say in our report--i.e. what the goals of our paper were. Although the work was not as collaborative as it could have been, my partner and I had good discussions about the overall outline of the report, while we worked on the individual sections separately."

I met with nick on finalizing the paper project, we combine our work and continue fine tuning it until midnight - a deadline we set and agreed upon as a good stopping point." "Our essay writing style is very different, as it may become apparent when reading our paper. But we tried to tone down the differences by tuning our work. It worked pretty well at the end and I'm very proud of it."

We seemed to keep the students interested. The project with Lance went very well. We were able to work together on the entire project and we achieved our goal pretty well. I was a little bit surprised that we were the only presentation, but I am glad that we presented rather than having to write a paper."
