Dear Diary,
No design meeting today but time to go on Youtube. Teams started posting simple tests and Chief Delphi is buzzing with activity. Plenty of new threads and posts J. Everyone is thinking and waiting for tomorrows design meeting. Mr. G brought in a hammer today and we tried hitting the ball in different heights. We are going to post the video on Youtube for other teams to see as well. We were able to make some conclusions regarding where to hit the ball (low, center, or high) Spin is important, but not as much as getting airborne.
Officer meeting and then back home to read more threads on effective drive trains. Some people are suggesting a robot with 8 small wheels. I don’t understand why, but I’ll bring it up at the meeting tomorrow and see if someone can explain it to me. Hopefully we’ll take 6-8 people to Mr. Hass’s house and build this weekend. We want to get the Tower and platform does. Then all that remains is the goal (we may not build one. Don’t know yet).
