July 16, 2011 Practice

Ian and I work on our robotic creation
featuring "brains".
This week we began an exploration in to the TETRIX system. Despite not beginning to program, we learned many part names and building stratagies. We also formed mini-teams to see how our robots compared. The teams were Ian and I, and Jaret and Jared. Jaret was also fixated on making a killer robot instead of complying with FTC rules.


Jared and Jaret worked on a robotic
creation featuring mechanics and
"sumo skills".
The "mini teams" had different stratagies when constructing the robots. Ian and I got a fair foundation with a NXT brick and TETRIX power supply. The other team focused more on "cool looks" and motors. Today's meeting began a new age for J2IT. We will continue the robot construction and programming skills for the new hardware.
