Meeting with the Robotics Club

As part of the Inland Empire Robotics club which im pursuing as my mentorship, we periodically have meetings where we discuss the direction of the robot and we also do many other things related to the robotics club and whatnot.

At our last meeting, we sat together to discuss design ideas and jotted them down on a board and discussed the pros and cons of each one. We also discussed programming guidelines and chose roles within the team according to our strengths. Then we also took care of basic housecleaning duties such as setting up the next meeting and figuring out what the team should be doing next. We also had a visitor from another team like ours but the difference was that they were more experienced and they brought a robot to show us what kind of things we'll be doing. I took photos of our design idea board and of the robot.

This is a picture of the robot the more experienced team brought along to show us. It is a robot specifically for display only and they use it to help promote robotics

This is a picture of the design idea board. We came up with many ideas and just drew them on the board before compiling a list of what would be best.

This is the list of the best ideas that we came up with and it includes small drawings to help remind us of what the name meant. This board is necessary for helping decide a final design.
