Get The Newbies on the Line

[Bomberofdoom]

Ok guys,
Just an update on our mini-project:

Due to the fact that we have 6-7 computers in our lab and in an attempt to consume as less resources(boxes,cards etc.) as possible, we siwtched our project to a more "technological expirence".

The project missions and details(game, arena, rules, requirements etc.) will be given to each team on their computers, which they will work on.
The min-project will include missions in the form of mechanical, programming, penumatics, electronics and strategy subjects. I.E - drawing a drivetrain design, motor assembly (showing how they connected between a certain motor, gearbox and gear tooth to the chain which is connected to the FIRST 6" wheel, or an omni wheel etc.) or a programming flow chart explaining the way the robot's program will work etc.
Of course, along the work, the teams will be encouraged to find information tips and others in the internet. Teams having difficulties understanding what to do will be given a couple of helpful tip in some areas.
With the teams working on their missions, there will be a "Sponsers" zone, where representetives of each team can come to answer a few question and our team, the project and others in order to receive either a special component, a few extra components from the KOP or a few tips on how to complete a mission succesfuly.

The info that will be given to the students is in the following link:
NOTE: Link will come soon!
Some of the info are in hebrew and some are in english, so the team can work on translation (of rules). I'll give in a fully english white paper of the project.

After they completed their missions of the robot (with limited worktime), they'll give in their "robot", the missions will be reviewed and will decide how well the robot do in it's certain action/function in the game of Rack n' Roll that team 1577 - Steampunks, from Ra'anana Israel, did (with a few modifications).
