First team meeting
We had a productive first meeting Wednesday September 10th! Reading the manual and creating team names was tons of fun. We also constructed a model of the "Cascade Effect" playing area out of LEGO pieces.

Team Kick-Off Party: Cascade Effect!
We've just received this year's FTC Challenge - Cascade Effect! Our robot will have to herd balls around and get them up into big tubes. (We get to discuss how this is to be done at next meeting.) Here's a link to the Challenge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABmBxCwHV94
At this afternoon's Team Kickoff Party, we watched the challenge video, played "Family Feud" over the game manual rules, and narrowed down our team name choices to three top winners. (We'll choose one at next meeting.)
Until then, happy September 6th to everybody and have a great week!
