Lego League Agenda - first meeting on Wednesday, September 9th, 2015 in the TheaterRobot
  1. We will be meeting Wednesdays and Thursdays immediately after school until 5:00 buses . We will clean up our projects at 4:50pm in both room 216 and the computer labs which will give us enough time to go to our lockers and make your buses.
  2. Robotics club has an open door policy – there is no examination to join. If you have a conflict on one of the days but you can come the other day – just let us know so we can accommodate your needs.
  3. YouTube of Trash Trek Project https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=51&v=HhSXJ7bvSYQ
  4. YouTube of Trash Trek Robot Challenge Board https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=136&v=akuN95EyXJk
  5. Homework – think about a research project – what are the garbage problems that face everyone and what solutions would you like to research that? Reduce? Reuse? Recycle?
  6. Permission slip and $40 entry fee due by Wednesday, September 16th drop of in room 216. Checks should be made out to CMS Student Activities. If you care to bring a snack – you may eat in room 216 NOT in the computer lab.

  9. Form groups of 5 for research and 5 for robot challenge
  10. 8 Builder captains from previous years will prepare the 2 boards and the challenges on Wednesday September 9th and Thursday September 10th.
  11. This is a coordinated effort – some of us will program, some will research and some will build but the sum of the combination will equal a winning team. We practice gracious professionalism in Lego League which means we help each other out, teach each other, and share our knowledge, skills and appreciation.
  12. If you have your own robot consider bringing it into school to use with your team as Lego Robotics has limited loaners.
  13. Any questions: email Coach at [email protected].

 Thank you for your interest,
