The robotics team has continued to meet through the summer. The kids are doing actual productive things, building another test robot, upgrading the competition machine for an off season comp, that sorta stuff. I just arrange various outreach visits. The robotic Dog-n'-Pony show has so far been to:
3M. By the way, I usually take pictures of things after the main presentation. That's when the serious engineers all want to get toes up to the robot and ask the serious questions...
Phillips Medisize. This one was extra fun. One of our early days alumni works there. After the presentation we invited him to come down and operate the robot. I think he looks a bit rusty. We'd added settings that were specific to this venue. Could we get a game piece launched all the way to the back of the auditorium?
Heck, yeah.
Our annual update for the School Board. This was just before they doubled my salary (2 x 0 = 0) and made my status as robot overlord official. Reluctantly we opted to not fire the shooter in this room. So much nice student artwork hung everywhere....
More robot outreach antics in August.
