Our first week!

Hello again, readers!

This week was full of some really exciting development.

Like most teams, we spent Saturday and Sunday working on concepts and ideas for how in the WORLD we could possibly be shooting these Frisbees! Usually, we can look at old games for inspiration - but no FIRST game has ever used Frisbees as a game element before!

We've been keeping an eye on community sources, such as Robot in 3 Days, and of course, everyone's favorite forum, Chief Delphi.

The first week has been mostly centered around design and protoyping, so here's a few snippets from what we've been trying! Our work area is being outfitted with several GoPro cameras during meetings- and thanks to the age of the smartphone, we've always got project documentation.





And some videos of prototyping moments:



More than anything, I am so incredibly proud of these students and how hard they're working. This is shaping up to be an AMAZING year!

See you Tuesday! Hopefully we'll have more detail on a meeting-by-meeting basis as we close in on a final robot, and get parts delivered.
