First year of technology
Derek and I's first robots we built from lego pieces, we built a door alarm, Santa Claus, sound wave command, spinner bot, and an etch a sketch. Our robotics team built a robot for the Fairbanks ROTC challenge. We built our robot to knock the rings off of the hanger and push them into the middle so that we could get points. Our team number was 6651 and our name was Waffles. We placed second in the qualifying rounds, and lost in the finals competition. The judges gave us the motivational award.
I learned that in order to be a good team we all have to work together, even when we argue. You always need to double check your work when you build robots, because if you dont you could end up with a mutant robot that wont walk. Derek and I built our Santa robot wrong, but luckily before we had gotten very far someone pointed out what we did wrong. So we didn't have to undo very much of our work. If we do the robotics challenge again next year, we will remember to work as a team and always double check our work, before we finish.
