FTC Game Review

• 3 parts. auto, driver, and end game

• Points vary

• form mosiac for extra points

• in the end game throw an airplane, closer to the field = more points

• in the end game suspend the robot from the bars then gain 20 points

• no interfering with other robots

• the measurements are on the FTC website

• Plan on making seashells as a team prop

• make robot small

• make the robot arm in a way it can suspend itself from the bars

• make a small shovel to push one of the pieces

Some questions:

• What are ways we can make our robot more compact?

• How will we design our arm to hold the weight of our robot?

• Where will we get the seashell?

• How to make our airplane?

• How do we program our robot?

FTC Scoring Strategy

• In auto push 1 of the pieces to the line with our team prop.

• In auto put 1 piece onto the board and then park in the back to gain points

• In driver aim to put 1 piece on the backdrop and 1 piece on the back floor to gain as many points as possible in a short time

• In the end game throw the airplane and then suspend it from the bars

I helped plan for future outreach event and how to design our robot. I designed a sticker for our future goodie bags to hand out during an event. I discussed multiple future plans for a variety of events within this school year for robots.

Cut up all of the pieces nessasary for our treasure chest piece for feild

We hot glued all of our wooden pieces together and started on painting our pieces (we finger painted and it got everywhere) but we did not finish today.

We finished painting an hot gluing everything and now we just need to add a top!

I went to our scrimmage, our robot wasn't charged so we had to charge it, our left motor broke during the final match, our wires were too everywhere, our on/off switch was too open.  We fixed most of these problems and got 4th place!

Today I went in and I made a sling shot type thing for our drone to get deployed from. I designed and planned out a few possible future projects but we decided to hold off on them for now. Me and Emily went into the hall way and tried out different types of drones to figure out which one would work best with our design.

Me and Emily Stephens worked on more paper airplanes of a bigger size and multiple colors. We also talked about possible ways of improving our robot or things that might go wrong such as a variable in what we originally were predicting circumstances to be like
