Meeting #12 - 1/23/10

Houston, we have a DI-Bot.

The team has completed the central part of the challenge, their DI bot.  This garbage can amazingly sorts garbage from recycling, spits out the recycling and teachers it's owner about the proper way to recycle.  The recycling is spit out of the garbage can using a hinge, an inclined plane, a pulley, and a rope.  Garbage is actually secretly thrown into a separate compartment inside the garbage can so it is not spit out.

The team also created a list of things it needs for next week, here is the list, please send along any of the items you can next week...

  • Garbage cans (a variety of sizes and shapes, being used in the garbage can store)
  • A custom song or song lyrics to help transition between scenes (Kristy)
  • A "season spinner" to show the passage of time (Karlie)
  • Folding card table (Mr. H)
  • Paint for scenery and paint brushes (everyone, we'll go on a shopping trip if needed)
  • Old clothes for painting
  • Recycling bin (Megan)
The team also worked on cutting out a car for a prop and starting putting the pieces together for the house where some scenes take place.

Check out the photo album to see some of the progress.

Great progress is being made!
