Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!
I'm in, though there will probably be some rants and ravings about my grad class sprinkled in as well. I wound up pulling a A- in the hardest math class I've ever taken, yet this coming math class (non-linear programming) is [scary math]^2.

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!
I'll bring this up in my team. Worst case scenario I'll document the season and upload it afterwards.

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!
I'm not trying to 'plug' this here, but I just thought I'd throw a new 'method' to 'document' a season. I really like reading blogs. However, I hate writing blogs about as much as I hate suffering through terrible movies my girlfriend loves. Evernote is a note-taking, picture-saving, webpage caching, stick-note-everywhere web service that is free for most of the things I need it for. It's been incredibly useful for grad school. I've also used it with my phone to make TODO lists, jot down names of people I interact with that I may need to remember later, etc. What makes it really nice is the fact that the same notes I make on my phone can appear the browser plugin on my work computer and full application on my home computer.
In the mean time, I've shared the 2011 robotics folder on my evernote account: http://www.evernote.com/pub/aticris/robotics2011 And the general folder, since there's already some stuff populated in it (used it as reference material for drive train workshops I taught): http://www.evernote.com/pub/aticris/roboticsgeneral |

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!
An easy way to keep track of what you are creating from a model point of view is to add a "Comment" Comments help you to remember why you did what you did in the engineering design process and as you share models and assemblies, it prevents mistakes.
Right-click on the FeatureManager icon in SolidWorks Select Comment Enter your comment and save your note. Marie |

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!
I'm glad to see so much interest in this. I'll reiterate that I'm much less excited about the day-to-day feeds as I am the final compiled papers.
I know we're all going to be busy during the 6-weeks, who has time to follow a bunch of twitter feeds with the proper amount of attention? -John |

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!
I did it the past two years for our (Typewriter Repairmen) NURC robot
http://www.selectric.org/nurc10/index.html but that's a kind of slow motion build...we had months and months to work on it. I'll have to see if I'd be able to keep up with a post a day on the FRC build. Plus we have a new build place, new teachers, new mentors, and mostly new students...should be an interesting year for the NERDS |

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!
I uploaded a design poster we used at the regionals and championship. It's not as detailed as a design blog but you can get some of the thought process from it. For example, our kicking mechanism could only kick with one force so we varied the shot distance with software - the poster tells how we did it.

These kind of promotional materials are great for everyone - judges learn more about your robot, other teams get a look into your design process, and you get a chance to reflect on the decisions you made and what benefits they had for your robot. |

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!
I've been planning on posting 573's progress here on CD after Kickoff. After talking to a few team members, we also feel that it would be a good idea to do a weekly vlog to go along with our thread. We want to share our ideas and we would also like to hear some feedback on how we are going about things. We have never done a PR 'stunt' like this, so we're hoping that it works to our advantage.

Whenever you share information, we will all benefit. In turn, hopefully, more information from the rest of us, will follow, and in turn help you. Remember, teaching the students, to openly share ideas promotes gracious professionalism. We don't care if our robot moves 10 feet and dies, if instead,we can turn on a student to the sciences. |

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!
I hope some of you "hot shot mentors" will join me.

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!
Thats a great idea. I'm in, and hopefully at least some of 461 will follow suit.
Good luck to all the teams ![]() |
