This evening VRC 1414 met for the first time in the 2012-13 season. This season we have a new meeting place donated by the UPV library. This is because this year we have expanded from 1 team to 3. We have new students from all over the area participating this season. We started off our first meeting by reading over the 10 program principles (to be discussed more in a later post) and the Sack Attack game rules and getting to know each better through introductions (name, where we're from etc.). We briefly discussed vocab and gear reduction along with filling out team engineering notebook by filling it out under a 3 stage loop: Identify need, complete task, and assess/evaluate.  Our homework for next meeting is to read robot rules, review vocabulary, and work with the Stack Attack App. We're all looking forward to the season!

 

See you next week for "Stubots" and the beginning of brainstorming!
