Changed from online to paper

Torrey Techies,

For the past 3 weeks I've been documenting our progress in our engineering notebook and have decided that that is a more efficient way to write down what we do at each meeting.
I will post meeting times here sometimes but most of the time I will be emailing you so check your emails please!
Thank you to those of you who showed up before school on Wednesday morning and helped fix the wheel and chassis. Also, thank you to those of you who showed up to Friday's lunch meeting.
I will see you all on Sunday and Monday since we have a long weekend :)
GET READY FOR SOME ROBOMANIA :)

A post about Sunday (oct. 11) on Tuesday (oct. 13)

The usual Sunday began at 12:30.
I was late, running and juggling my laptop, bag and folder all at once (amazing right?) I toppled into Mr. Lineback's room and was glad to see a few members :) I'll take this opportunity to name the fellow Techies who showed up to this Sunday's meeting: Trevor, Jerry, David. P, David. F, Alistair, Su, Maya, Robin, Mr. L and a little later Mr. D dropped by. We assembled the field (that I made with Stu, an MIT alum, the week before - special thanks must go out to Mr. Flicker).

Okay so I tried for an hour to upload photos and vid clips from Sunday and it worked then I accidentally deleted everything so I'm going to give up - I forgot how annoying blogspot was for uploading photos :(

I'll print the photos and stick them in our engineering notebook :D

Well here's a quick update of what we accomplished:

built the chassis

experimented to calibrate the encoder as best we could

jerry made a motor thing - he still owes me a drawing with labels and description

make shift cradle for our batteries :)

On next week's agenda: START WORKING ON BALL COLLECTING AND SHOOTING!
