Specialized Learning

Good evening readers!

Tonight's meeting was more specific in the various fields we would be breaking off into for the build season. Twenty two of our thirty two members came to this very important meeting. Lenore and Windell, two helpful parents who manage their own workshop, gave a presentation to us about the various materials we will be encountering during the season. Afterwards, we split off into the three main groups that will be focusing on different aspects of the robot. Sean (also known as Mr. Stone and who is our main Mechanical Mentor) and Charlie Depew (our Mechanical Lead) took the members interested in the construction of the robot. Mr. Dobervich (our main Software Mentor), Jaidev Bapat (our Software Lead), and Vasu Maheshwari (our Electrical Lead) took charge of leading the students interested in the programming and wiring of the robot. Everyone worked really well with each other and I look forward to kick-off. I just have 22 days 8 hours 5 minutes and 32 seconds left to go!

Sincerely,
Hailey Sanidad
PR/Buisness Lead

Windell (on the left) and Lenore (on the right) present the different  uses of various materials.
Our team remained respectful and listened to them speak.
Luckily for us, they had brought physical examples of the various materials we  would be encountering later in the season.
Each material was very intriguing.
This is the specialized bit that the member in the above picture is examining. 
We were sure to pass along the various examples being given to us.
We remained on task, whether it be looking at the materials or listening to the presentation.
The team migrated to the build area for a quick review from Mr. Depew. From there, we separated into Mechanical and Electrical/Software.
Many students were interested in the Electrical and Software aspect of  the robot.
Vasu Maheshwari aided in the presentation for the Electrical and Software group by relying on his knowledge from last years game/
