Coastal Quarks, Video Blog 1

Ok, so here is what is happening. Every meeting, we take videos for our blog, reporting in on what is happening. Then, within the next few days, we edit and upload the feed with music and a written blog to go along with it.



Ok, here is video blog number 1! This meeting, we mostly worked on programing, because our field has not arrived yet. We downloaded LabView and tried to figure out how it worked, it was harder than it looked! We also set up a little of the field from the Smart Move FLL challenge, so that if we had gotten the robot running, we could have picked up loops that greatly resemble Helium 3 and water elements. All of the team members were at the meeting except for Noa, who is out of town.

OMG We got in phase 2!

Our team is currently very excited, because we made it into phase two! We are meeting this friday, and are hoping that the field kit will have arrived so we can build it. Unfortunately, the whole team will not be able to attend this meeting, because one of the members is out of town. Anyways, GO TEAM!

Robot Pic

<----- Our Robot, Blitzbot! It has changed a bit since this picture, but its still the basic idea.

Mega Weekend- Progress!

We have made progress! Our team has made a very awesome robot that is all terrain, able to pick up samples, and altogether AWESOME!!!! Pics to come....

We also managed to get a good start on our presentation script. Our main ideas include: colonies on the moon and the moon as a lunar base to launch further explorations into the cosmos...

Tomorrow we plan to polish everything off, as well video the pres. Hopefully, we will be able to get everything done!

Go team!
