Unlike many other robotics teams, our team is extremely large, and open to everyone at our school, causing us all to have diverse viewpoints and a unique journey with robotics.]]> 2022-01-28 22:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2018721777 https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2018722647 I love the people I have met and the connections I have made. I have become close friends with a lot of people from robotics, and it is great to see so many people be a part of this amazing program.]]> 2022-01-28 22:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2018722647 https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2018724773 I am proud of us being able to communicate well with each other groups that are part of robotics, even though communication sometimes can be hard for teams, especially considering the amount of people we have.]]> 2022-01-28 22:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2018724773 https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2018725320 I have learned a lot about coding,to be able to help the software team in the future, and also a lot of the mechanical aspects of the robot, which will help me build better ones in the future.]]> 2022-01-28 22:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2018725320 https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2020172502 I am proud of our team being able to learn how to use the 3D printer and get it working again so that we could print the capstone and some parts for the robot. ]]> 2022-01-30 18:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2020172502 https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2020202902 We had one of our former team members come in a few times, and he has helped us with a lot of different things. He was able to bring back some helpful tips and ideas that we had lost during the time gap we had.]]> 2022-01-30 19:29:27 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2020202902 What is unique is that our team all worked together to produce a flawed design, but after discussions and brainstorming together we were able to fix it to be a true asset worthy of winning this competition. https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2020366646 2022-01-30 22:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2020366646 Making a robot is fun, it's not boring like other clubs, but rather it requires you to think and work together, which is what I enjoy. https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2020367437 2022-01-30 23:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2020367437 The creation of our claw, it had multiple issues along the way, but we have revised it to be better. https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2020368020 2022-01-30 23:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2020368020 https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2020410657 An obstacle that the team has overcame was the chassis since it is what took us the longest to make. This is because we had a hard time trying to fit the essentials onto the chassis and we didn't much of the materials needed to make it better because of time constraints. However our team overcame it with ingenuity and tinkering with old parts to make the chassis come together. ]]> 2022-01-31 00:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2020410657 A lot of us came up from the middle school team, creating an interesting dynamic heightened by the struggles and successes along the way. eleanor_ragsdale https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2022350254 2022-01-31 22:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2022350254 I like hanging out with the team and developing leadership skills. eleanor_ragsdale https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2022351245 2022-01-31 22:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2022351245 getting stuff done, despite a propensity for procrastination eleanor_ragsdale https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2022352502 2022-01-31 22:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2022352502 I've learned how to adapt a plan to new obstacles. eleanor_ragsdale https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2022353379 2022-01-31 22:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2022353379 Our claw is 3d printed and designed to pick up spheres easily. eleanor_ragsdale https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2022353966 2022-01-31 22:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2022353966 I keep in touch with the middle school robotics team through my little sister, who is on it along with some of her friends after seeing me enjoy it. eleanor_ragsdale https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2022354709 2022-01-31 22:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2022354709 we cool eleanor_ragsdale https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2022354916 2022-01-31 22:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2022354916 Rachel_Geo https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2025442543 This team was created quite recently and everything is student lead.

So I suggest each part of the team should talk. ]]> 2022-02-02 14:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2025483441 Rachel_Geo https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2025494695 The 3D printers were not working correctly since they weren't maintained over the pandemic. There was help from a previous team member who guided us on how to fix the printer and gave some. After a lot of trial an error, the pinter was fixed. ]]> 2022-02-02 14:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2025494695 Rachel_Geo https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2025502670 I learned how to adapt. CAD was a very new software for me. I was very used to drawing on a 2D surface so transcribing that into a 3D model took some time getting used to. ]]> 2022-02-02 14:43:14 UTC https://padlet.com/Rachel_Geo/vn76ai8izlxt2nas/wish/2025502670
