During second quarter, student groups will rotate through one of each activity:
(1) Students will have 10 in class days to work on the design of their car, mill our their coaster, and work on their presentation and research. Most likely, most milling will occur after hours (especially in the case of cars). Students are responsible for scheduling a time after hours to mill their practice foam and their CO2 car.
(2) Students will have 10 days to get started on, and hopefully finish, an intake system for the robot they worked on first quarter. Students will split into two groups and design and prototype an intake system for the FRC game of their group's choosing. The ideal situation would be that the prototype for each group's intake system is complete within the 10 day period so the team as a whole can decide on which to use next quarter.
(3) Students will have 10 days to design and create a Vibe-robot (a robot whose sole power source comes from a vibrating motor) that can remain standing in an arena against another Vibe-robot. The students are provided the motor, the power source, and googly eyes. Any other materials in the classroom may be used but students are encouraged to use other materials to create a robot that lasts the longest in the arena against another robot. While students are creating their Vibe-robot, they will document their progress in designing and creating and will give a presentation on their final design at the end of the 10 day period. They will be evaluated by their peers.
