In this mission, the robot needs to carry the engine/windshield unit from the Safety and install it in the unfolded car in the right directions. Things you need to consider include:
. How do you want to carry the engine/windshield unit?
. How do you plan to install the engine/windshield unit in the car?
. How will you locate the robot to the right place? Which route will you take? What sensors will you use to guide the robot?

Mission assignments
Hello, all,
We start working on missions now. As we discussed after we finished the tournament, we plan to finish 500 points missions by the end of summer (consistently).
Below is the Trash Trek mission map. Please use it to design your own mission. Our current assignments are:
. Aiden (M06 Scrap Cars, 65 points): we need to install the engine/windshield in the unfolded car.
. Chungtai (M09 Salvage, 60 points): pull the valuable to the safety completely.
(M10 Demolition, 85 points): make sure no building block is standing in Setup position, and pull back all building blocks to the safety
. Matthew (M05 Career, 60 points): move at least one person to the Sorter Area
(M07 Cleanup, 30 points): move the plastic bag from the Sorter to the Safety
. Samuel (M07 Cleanup, 90 points - 125 points): move the plastic bag from the beach to the Safety. Put three animals in any circle.
. William (M11 Purchasing Decisions, 40 points): move the toy plane back to the Safety
If we can finish all these missions, plus missions we had tried before, M03 Transport and M08 Composting, we will definitely pass the 500 points goal.
To finish these missions, you need to think some general design questions:
. How many sensors do you plan to use? What are they? Where should they be installed?
. How many motors except those two driving wheels do you need to use? How will these motors drive your mechanics? Where should these motors be installed? How should they connect to your mechanics?
. How will your robot start from the Safety? (directions, etc.)
. How will the robot base look like? What is the size of the robot base?
I will also post specified questions for each of you to think.
Best,
Feng Tian

Meeting date and time

What we learn is more important than what we win: When we were learning to program, we were learning to learn something new, not to get closer to winning.
We are a team: When we were deciding what to do for the project, we all worked and decided together what we should do.
We honor the spirit of friendly competition: At the coach training, we were the first to finish the task, but we didn't brag. Also, when the other teams finished, we congratulated them.
We work to find the answers to problems with guidance from our mentors: When we were first deciding which T-shirt we should use, we had 8 shirts proposed. Our team narrowed it down to 3. Then our mentor proposed a solution that we decided on.
We know our mentors don't always have all the answers: When we were coming up with ideas to accomplish missions, the coaches and mentors came up with many failed ways to do it. We created our own succesful idea.
Chungtai, Aiden, William, and Sammy: Finalize script
Matthew: Do poster
Andy: Find two pictures

Project day
Work on memorizing the script.
Reporters and Dr. Science (A.K.A. Schneider) need to finish conclusion.
P.S. I think we have to come up with some more ideas for the Core Values poster.
P.P.S. I think this is all.

T-Shirt Final Design
Below is the final design the boys chose for the team t-shirt. I've also attached a link to the sizing guide on the website. Take a look and let me know how many of each size you want. I'll place one order and then let everyone know what they owe. The final cost will be about $17.89 per shirt.
Link to Sizing Guide: http://www.customink.com/items/sizing/04600_lineup/standard.htm
We also didn't discuss whether to add names to the back, or just to add "Coach" to the coaches' shirts, so let me know if anyone would like to do that.
