Smile Re: What does your team do during the first few days?

Sat. am we will attend the remote kick-off. Later in the afternoon the whole team will replay the tape of the kick-off and we will have some discussion about the game, rules, scoring, etc. over pizza. Homework is to absorb everything you can and start incubating ideas.

Sun the exec committee will meet for some general discussions regarding game rules and strategy, likely 'bot construction variants, the field, etc.

Mon. The whole team will brainstorm how to play the game: offense -vs- defense, autonomous mode, etc. The team will reach a consensus on our "functional objectives:.

Tues. The whole team will brainstorm robot designs and construction methods to accomplish the functional objectives set on Mon. and decide on a design direction.

Wed. - Thurs A full scale mock-up is built of the entire robot and the various detail sections that will help to prove out the design concepts. This will be made of wood and foam core board held together with screws and hot melt glue.

Fri. A representative section of the field is complete, and a review of our functional objectives takes place. Overall design concept is critiqued, and we prep for a multi-team design review on Sat. Components are ordered and hard design begins. Whew!
