Re: Mid-season lull

We pulled up from our mid-season lull at yesterday's session. Key things that helped:
  • Finished chassis v1 previous session, so we started drive tryouts and practice in earnest. This reduced the crowding in the shop, and raised spirits all around.
  • New toys - fuel came in (we aren't shooting, just to drive around), more versaframe, some badly needed spacers, new heat gun and successful test of a plastic forming technique.
  • Evrett (student drive coach) took over the "daily huddle" meetings from me. No coordination, just I was otherwise involved when it was time to start, and he jumped in. He copied most of my good meeting habits and fixed most of my bad ones. (I arrived about a minute into the meeting.)
  • Layout and elevation drawings of robot v2 were available, and a notional animation. Not really CAD (which is finally a real thing for us), but enough to see how we're going to climb with a device that's UNDER the gear slide and why the new gear slide doesn't need to curve, and how that funny shape is going to push the gear onto the peg.
  • Isaac, Travis, and I (all mentors) showed up three (quite different) versions of steampunk garb.
