Crunch Time
This week is marking the fact that we only have two more weeks
left to build our robot. Stop Build Day is on Tuesday, February
17. That means we need to have our robot done, and bagged, by
11:59pm on this date. When it is bagged we cannot take it out
until we arrive to our first competition. Our team is in crunch
time in order for our robot to be done in time to compete.

Every year we name our robot. This year we
have finally come to a conclusion as to what it
will be named. Bruce, our robot was named
after the shark in the movie Finding Nemo
who says, “Fish are friends not food.”
During the competition there will be several
ramps that the robots have to be able to stack
the totes on top of to earn points. Above is
the playing field. The ramps are the white
areas. This week our team is working on
building a practice ramp so that we are able
to perfect our strategies at getting the totes
stacked on top of the ramp as quickly as
possible.
~Joke of the Week~
Q: Why do sharks not like fast food?
A: Because they can’t catch it.
