The Attachments

Here are all the pictures of the attachments that are used to help complete those missions. All this attachments were designed and tested working fine. Some of them were not even used in any competition because of the 2.5 minute time consideration.

The Robot

Here are all the pictures of our robot taken from different directions.

Our Posters

Kids prepared three posters for the project presentation, a poster for the robot design judging session, and a poster for the teamwork judging session.

Sharing Our Ideas

Sharing our ideas was one of required things that needs to be done according to the challenge document. We kind of ran out of time and did not have many options: share the idea with the class in the school, share the idea with families and friends. We chose the latter one. We scheduled a time with all the kids, their families and friends. Kids gave the presentation to their families and friends at our presentation instructor's place.

Our senior partner visited us in the new year

Our senior partner visited us at our meeting place in the first week of January. Kids demonstrated the robot runs on the tables.

Good Mission Strategy

We recently did lots of researches and found out that a good strategy is better than a good program and would save lots of NXT programming work. And, we are going to combine all missions on the west area into one single run. That means the robot will complete the TV, blue quilts, yellow quilts, and dog in one run. This requires making a fantastic attachment and lots of experiments. Coaches and kids are all excited about this idea and have been working very hard on getting it working, almost there.
