Robotics Update - Competition Ahead!

Robot is coming along.  I've had a busy stretch lately and so have not been on hand as often as usual.  It's an odd ten days when you've been a hockey grandpa, a pallbearer and a robotics judge... I should have another update later in the week, and a tournament report before too long, but for now you'll have to be content with the robot's name:


This is a bit of homage to a former team member.  It's also the title of a really bad Shark Movie.  But Megan, the person, is actually more formidable than any shark!

I've been working with the new video crew.  Time to break in some 9th graders.  Here in order are:

The robot at STEM night, amusing some campfire girls:


And a shop tour of the 5826 build space:


And finally, robot meets robot dog.  With a supporting actor role for Hank, my loveable if dimwitted side kick.


Robot dogs meeting real dogs seems to be a common Youtube thing, but comparing the relative skill level of the two in retrieving yellow balls....guess we have that all to ourselves!

I'll be putting comments into "moderator" format for a while. Sometimes they get a bit off topic. I'll post almost all of them even the One Weird Trick Spamsters if they amuse me. I also answer my email at dagmarsuarez@gmail.com
