Robot solutions we can learn from.
Here are some solutions posted by other teams and we can learn from.
. This trip finished all food delivery and milk collection in one trip (100 points). Look how they design a stable gear to drop food and how they locate each animal post.

. Look how fast they collect food from the refrigerator, and how they finish the research people, panda, and seal missions in one trip.

FLL Project Homework - Week of 10/9/2016 - 10/16/2016
Today the team presented the root causes of the CCD, and came up with the solution:
The Lymin Ducks will build a prototype habitat which is a sanctuary for bees. In this habitat, bee will not be exposed to the elements which will cause CCD. This will be a long-term experiment to build a smallest yet functional bee habitat which, if successful, can be replicated.
Components of the Habitat and Assignment:
1. Fruit Trees - Chungtai
2. Pond with aquatic plants - William
3. Bee Hives - Williams
4. Wildflower to feed and attract Bees - Aiden
5. Bee Hotel - Sammy
Project Requirement:
Chungtai:
Come up with a list of fruit tree or flowering trees which will be best habitat for bees.
Research for breed name, where to buy, the price
Calculate how many months these trees can support the bees
Calculate how many trees needed to support a hive of 50,000 bees.
William:
Design the shape and size of a small pond which can support bees
Come up with a list of required aquatic plants for our planting zone.
Present a design which will be a future bee hive and what material is needed to build it
Aiden:
Come up with the names of flowers for this bee habitat
List a few species of flowers for each of the season
Research what plants can feed the bees during Winter.
Sammy:
Come up with a design of the bee hotel
Consider how to improve upon the bee hotel to make it more bio-diverse.
Research the placement of the hotel to keep it safe from predators
Come up with a material list needed to build it
Come up with the design and instructions for the hotel

Project Homework:
Lymin Ducks:
We have 4 weeks to come up with the solution for the problem we picked: Colony Collapse Disease.
Homework:
Borrow books from library; borrow DVDs, do online research for the CCD and list the solutions we can do to solve this problem.
Background:
The team voted to select this CCD as the existing issue we face today: 30% bees are dying and the food and fruit production is affected.
Please research how Bees help humans and how humans can help Bees to survive and flourish, solving the CCD mystery will be the key for it.

Robot homework 10/1 - 10/7
We have made some progresses in our last meeting.
. Sammy finished the refrigerator duplicate
. William redesigned the food basket and made it smaller. He also finished the hook to pull the release bar.
. Aiden started working on the Honeybee mission and pat mission.
. Chungtai finished the base, and the Shark Tank mission.
In the coming week, here is the Robot homework assignment:
. Sammy needs to think how to use motor to release food from the refrigerator and how to hook this mission block with the base.
. William needs to finish connecting mission blocks with the base, and start testing the task in our next meet. This means you need to start programming too.
. Aiden needs to find solutions to two tasks. 1) How to pull back the pet and bee once foods are collected from the refrigerator. 2) How to deliver the honeybee to bee hive and bring the honey back to base.
. Chungtai needs to work on several things. 1) Duplicate the frame of the base, so we can test how to connect mission blocks with the base. 2) Duplicate wheels and color sensors on the other brick, so we can do routing experiment on this brick. 3) Help Sammy and William to hook up their mission modules with the base and programming the robot to finish our planned missions.

Project Homework 9/25 ~ 10/2
On Sunday 9/25, we had a discussion about the assignment from the last week. Also we watched the video about Swale, which gave us a big picture about how a healthy farm system has been created. Also we did brainstorm about the real-world problems that we can work on. We got a list of problems:
- Bad food that farm animals eat
- Monocultrure
- Fertilizer (chemical and natural)
- Pesticides
here are questions for pesticides reaserch?
- Why use pesticides? (http://prairiecalifornian.com/why-do-farmers-apply-pesticides/)
- Pesticides benefit
- What are dangers of pesticides
- How to get rid of pests without using pesticides (what is natural way)
- What are the natural pesticides? What are they habitat? How to help them?
- What are existing ways to help the natural pesticides(animal)?
- If yes, how can we improve them?
- If no, what can we do?
Your assignment for this week are:
- Find more real world problems that are related to farm, like animal system, soil system, insects system. Also please do some research on it.
- If you cannot find more, you could research one or two of the real world problems that we already listed on top.
Everyone will share his researches during the project meeting on 10/2.

Robot Homework Week 9/24 - 9/31
On Friday 9/23, we made some progresses on our robot design.
. Sammi duplicated the refrigerator for our food delivery mission. It is not finished yet, but we are on the track.
. William finished the bucket to collect food from the refrigerator, and the hook used to pull the release bar of the refrigerator.
. Chungtai changed the rear wheel to make the base more compact. He also tested the idea of running over the ramp. It turned out that due to the structure and surface of the ramp, it is very hard to control (or predict) the direction of the robot after it climbs the ramp. We had a discussion on it, and agreed that the most possible mission will use this route is to deliver the manure to the R & D area. So we decide to leave this idea for future study.
. Zoey built the fork that sends the Shark Tank.
Your assignments for this week are:
. Sammi: needs to finish the refrigerator duplicate next time. Things you need to think include: 1) Current "refrigerator" has a slop at the bottom. This slop will let the food roll away from the refrigerator once it is released. However, when we deliver the food to animals, we need to make sure that food falls right in the feeding circle. Is current structure feasible to the mission? Do we need to make any change? 2) What route do you want to take to feed animal? 3) What other missions do you plan finish together with the feeding mission? Please start to think the programing part.
. William: We will test the task that collect food from the refrigerator next Friday. You need to think: 1) How do you want to hook up your mission blocks with the base? 2) What mechanics you plan to connect your release hood with the motor? 3) Make a testing plan to decide what you want to test, and how to test them. Also write programs that will help you do these tests.
. Chungtai: Finish the robot base. Test the Shart Tank mission as the building block is already finished.
. Aiden: Present your mission studies to the team, which you missed on 9/16. Pick the mission you want to work on (please see above to know which missions have been assigned and finished) and start to think about the mission block design.
From next Friday, we will have a short plan meeting at the beginning of the meet, and a summary by the end. So be prepared.
