I went back and looked further into the competition to get a better understanding." "Beyond botball looks a little hard and several strategies could be used and we will need to decide ona certain one soon."

"- I did not encounter any problems. - I feel like I learned a good deal about the beyond botball competition, this will be tested when we build our robot. - We did what we were told in class. - Beyond botball is very similar to the regular botball competition, I thought it would be really different. - Extreme programming is probably something that I will want to do later in life."

I also did a checkup communication with our St. Mary's team." "In class we decided that our everyone was too busy to have a team meeting for the rest of the week or during Spring Break. Therefore we decided to have everyone do independent research in order to come up with a design for our robot. The goal was that if everyone came back from Spring Break with a design, we would then be able to compare and combine ideas to come up with a good design. The only real problem is that it's currently difficult to make sure that people on our team are doing work. I'm hoping that once the twiki site is up and running we will more easily be able to share ideas and progress."

It'll be interesting to see how it works with the Beyond Botball challenge. We also were introduced to the challenge, which I'd read about before - now we just have to figure out how to "keep it simple" with a competitor to account for."

"We worked first as a class using the new whiteboard device doing some brainstorming, then on our own we worked further thinking about more specific problems that will be encountered in our project as well as starting to plan our trip to one of our assigned schools" "8D24E83D777F4E3A919056D791950C83" "Kowalik, Kenneth" "kowalika" "4/17/2006 2:37:26 AM" "1 hour" "Attended class, as per the usual."

The team also discussed what we would do tomorrow at WWMS. I also emailed the people in direct communciation with the teams for the contact info." "The brainstorming session that was done in class didn't go over too well. I think the size of the group hampered the overall productivity of the session. Once the team discusses ideas things should work much better. Since what was done last Wednesday worked pretty well, the team decided to do it again at WWMS. I also came to the realization that I should do my refelctions on a more regular basis as remembering what went on half a week ago is pretty hard for an old man such as myself."

After class I went to angle to see I could fill out the survey for March 31-April 2. Once I noticed that the survey wasn’t posted on angle I went and talked to the professor to see if it was my angle account or if it simply wasn’t posted yet. The survey just had not been posted yet." "Monday was pretty exciting. We finally get to start working on Beyond Botball. I think that our team will do well in this competition. I have noticed is that our team works with our school teams more then other teams that I have talked to. This may hinder us in Beyond Botball. This is mainly due to our time being split up between our school teams and the Beyond Botball competition. What would be great is if our team ends up spending the most time with our school team and we also win the in-class Beyond Botball competition."

"I am very excited to get into the Robotics portion of this class. It will be a challenge for me to step out of my Mechanical Engineering ideas and try to look at it from an extreme programming perspective. I learned a lot about different ways to approach this type of design problem. Our team interacted very well. We began to discuss a lot of ideas of directions to take our robot."

Today were we told about the "Beyond Botball" competition and how we get to build our own robots. Definately has me excited as I went nuts trying to figure out the 1001 different ways to win the competition. I spent alot of time looking over the rules and coming up with ideas on how to best build our robot(s) to do exactly what we want it to do."

It is good that she tried to get into contact with us, however, as most of our teams seem more inclined to want to do their own thing."
