The rivets go in which way?

Very belated and brief entry here for our June 7, 2011 meeting.  The meeting was very focused an on track with 3 major agenda items:
1. Finish our brainstorm "what" lists and prioritize items,
2. Review related vocab and get to know the tools.
3. Begin building drivetrain.

Building on our  "Stubots" experience from the last meeting, we were able to accomplish all three.  Photos are here.

Note:  We didn't get as far with our drivetrain build as we'd have liked before meeting time ended.  The conversation went something like this...
Team member(s): "Mr. Kressly these rivets keep falling out.  They don't hold."
Kressly, "Yes they do. You must not be pushing them all the way in."
Other team members: "These rivets stink! They don't work!"
Kressly: "Yes, they do! Is the robot done yet? What's taking so long?"
-Meeting adjourned.  I look closer at the student work after team members depart and discover I taught them to put the rivets in backwards.  Whoops! Guess we'll be switching those next meeting and I'll be doing push ups or finding another way to make up for the time-wasting screw up.

Finished drivetrain next meeting... I promise (I think) :-)
