Focus Your Design: Read Challenge Descriptions

Understanding the competition challenges is one of the best ways our team can prepare to compete against other teams.  This allows us to focus our robot building and program design.

Check out the Robot Game Missions PDF (linked right also) for some of the most useful information.

EV3: Get to know some of the new features

Take a moment to get to know a little about what is available on the new EV3 robots.  As you learn more about the different challenges, be thinking about how we might use some of these sensors and motors to solve our problems.  

Our team has access to 2 EV3 robots each with 4 large servos, 1 medium servo and all the sensors you see picture here.

Hello: Here are the instructions you'll need to start building the challenge elements.

Budapest FLL Videos

These are the videos of our three runs from the Budapest FLL tournament this week.
As you watch them, ask yourselves:

1. What can we do to improve? 
2. What did we do well? 
3. What is our plan for improvement? (Put your plan in the comments below. Have at least three specific things you will be doing as part of your improvement plan.)

Robotics Tournament in Budapest Nov 16

Hi roboticists, 

We are excited to participate in our third competition at Fazekas High School on Saturday, Nov. 16.

Please be at the location on the map (below) at 9:00 on Saturday, November 16.  We will meet inside the school. Ask the receptionist where to go. It's upstairs.

The competition will last into the afternoon and there is not an exact ending time. Last year it went until about 4 PM. If you bring your cell phone, then you can call your parents to give them a better idea of when to pick you up.

There will be some snacks but you will want to bring a bag lunch, some snacks to keep you going, and drinking water.

If you have any questions at all please let one of us know.

Thanks,

Mr. Farren and Mr. Scanga
