Our whole team will be at the Ontario Science Center for the live kickoff and eating Krispy Kremes as we wait for our kits.
This year we're going to organize the design process by grouping people into sub-design teams. Rather than having the regular groups get together they'll be split up and mixed so that there'll be someone from media. mobiltity, function, game crew, etc in each desing group.
This will give everyone a chance to work together with other people they'd usually not have a chance to.
All the design teams will present their ideas/ models and after all
the ideas are in everyone on the team will vote with post-its.
Got this idea from the people at IDEO (
www.ideo.com)
Goal/ Game Stuctures are also built during the first week.
By Wed/Thurs the robot requirements will have been developed-
this includes the mobility chassis, drivetrain, function, and strategy. Prototyping will occur for the next 3-4 days during which time the parts for the drivetrain get ordered and its Fab begins. If the designs workout we'll be fabbing during the week 2 & 3.
